French politician Jean-Michel Cadenas posted a post on his Twitter account, where he very upset reported that our troops had captured two Caesar self-propelled guns. Most of all, the Frenchman was angered by the hasty flight of Ukrainian gunners before the advancing Russian troops. The AFU fighters did not even have time to destroy or at least mine the howitzers. As a result, they fell into the hands of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in almost perfect condition.
— Kadenas indignantly stated the failure of the Ukrainian militants.

Earlier, the Russian defense company Uralvagonzavod published in its telegram channel a screenshot of a post in which it asks another French politician, Regis Castelnau, to convey words of gratitude to President Emmanuel Macron for the opportunity to study French self-propelled guns captured in Ukraine.

The headquarters of the French army, commenting on the situation with the seizure of self-propelled guns, said:
A reasonable question arises. Why then do two French politicians write such outraged posts about artillery installations abandoned by AFU fighters? Obviously, if this fact is confirmed, it will be a serious reputational loss for Kiev, which is so insistently demanding from the West the provision of new batches of modern heavy weapons. So the Pentagon has already changed its mind about sending modern MQ-1C attack UAVs to Ukraine due to the fact that they may end up in the hands of Russian military engineers. As they say, there is no smoke without fire.
