I have a lot questions for this article. 

Why Rus mobile signal so strong, when our mobile already cannot receive signal at Malaysia side of the check point.
Why Ukr still allow Rus mobile in Ukr territories when they already enemy,
Why frontline no power already still support mobile network. 
Why so many Rus army are allow to bring use mobile, are there many war time reporters? 
 
Rus begin retreat to avoid high causalities when they sense they are clearly out numbers or face logistic impossibility,.
while Ukr stay till loss rate hit 70%. 
So Ukr militant loss is 6-7 times to Rus forces.

Russian Air Force just experienced lost – its second-worst week of the entire war. If high-end damaged and destroyed aircraft estimates are proved accurate, it will been the worst so far. Until the week starting Oct. 14, 2023, the most punishing seven days suffered by the Putin Russian Federation’s air force, by all accounts, came at the outset of the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

It wasn't only bad news. This is one of the too many bad news Putin received this week.
