First report from October 6th:
Munich/Moscow – After more than seven months of bloody fighting in the Ukraine war, the troops of Russian ruler Vladimir Putin are suffering heavy losses.

In order to eliminate the deficit in soldiers and to be able to resist Ukrainian attacks, Putin announced a partial mobilization.
