Russia Is Celebrating the Destruction of a German Howitzer in Ukraine

Christian D. Orr

That said, most Western media anecdotes pertain to the stunning individual achievements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the air, on the land, and on the sea, to Vladimir Putin’s great embarrassment. Meanwhile, coverage of individual Russian battlefield triumphs has been comparatively less. But in what might be a reflection of how the times are changing—to include a change in the fortunes of war—at least one Western media outlet has reported a Russian tactical victory that has Putin’s troops absolutely giddy.

What happened to Ukraine’s German-made howitzer?

The story comes to us from reporter Joe Brennan in an article for AS USA (the English language edition of Spain’s Diario AS) republished on MSN last week with the title “Euphoria among Russian soldiers on stumbling upon what they had been chasing for 3 years: ‘As if they had invaded Berlin’.”
