A journalist loyal to the Kremlin is said to have announced the location of a mortar on TV.
According to Ukraine, it could be destroyed shortly afterwards.
Kyiv - Did a Russian journalist give the enemy a decisive advantage in the Ukraine war?
Did the Ukrainian military react cleverly to a TV report loyal to the Kremlin - and did it brazenly make it public?
A Russian mortar was destroyed in Ukraine on Monday.
The location was known through Russian state television, Ukraine announced via Twitter and published a video of the attack.
"Thanks to the Russian propagandists for the tip," Ukraine's National Guard, which reports to the Interior Ministry, wrote on Twitter.
Ukrainian National Guard: Tulip self-propelled mortar destroyed Severodonetsk bridge
According to Ukrainian information, the "Tulip" self-propelled mortar has already destroyed a bridge and several houses in Severodonetsk.
Knowing its location, Ukrainian forces lured it out of the hangar and then destroyed it.
However, the destroyed device is not just any mortar.
The 2S4 Tjulap (in English: Tulip) is the largest mortar in the world and can even fire nuclear weapons.
The use of this great weapon was proudly presented on Russian state television to demonstrate its own superiority.
According to Ukraine, this has now been countered.
Particularly piquant in this case: The Russian journalist is considered to be absolutely loyal to Putin and the Kremlin and reported for Russian state television from Ukraine.
To classify: Political propaganda plays a role on both sides. In the current situation, Ukraine's report is difficult to verify.

The Russian journalist, Alexander Kotsk, also heard the report from Ukraine.
He reacted in his own way on the social network Telegram: "Let's observe the good rules of reporting and avoid such outpourings that disgust our noses," he wrote here.
Literally he alluded to diarrhea-like excretions.

His argument against the reports from the Ukrainian National Guard: The “Tulip self-propelled mortar” had already left the site before he and his team left.
The location of the Ukrainian video also does not match the location where they were filmed.
