@Mike_Eckel skepticism is definitely warranted.
Either this is: very confusingly worded; is misstating the equipment used; or is based on information that few—if any—have in the open-source community.

One odd detail is the reported 10km distance SPG/s were transported.
The geography of the Danube Biosphere Reserve warrants waterborne transport (deltaic marshland), but the distance of a geolocated firing position from a presumed launch-point at #Vylkoev exceeds 10km.

In theory, there can be a period between February and March when prevailing surface temperatures enable over-freezing of the marshlands, enabling cross-country transport.
But salinity in brackish marshlands, human-landscape influence, and few sand bars challenge this theory.

It is worth noting that if waterborne transport was involved, it implies AFU transported military equipment nearly exactly along the international border (Danube River) with Romania.
This is an interesting development to follow.
