Update from Monday, September 26, 8:30 a.m.:

The British Ministry of Defense assumes that the Russian army is faced with the challenge of preparing the drafted men for war.

Among other things, there is a lack of military trainers to implement the mobilization in the required hurry, according to a situation report.

The minimal preparation of the soldiers therefore suggest further high losses in the Ukraine war.

The above information cannot be independently verified.

First report from Monday, September 26, 8:00 a.m

Any use of nuclear weapons "would obviously have catastrophic consequences for the country using them, but also for many others" and the US has plans to respond accordingly, Blinken said.

On Wednesday (September 21) Vladimir Putin indirectly threatened the use of nuclear weapons during a speech on the partial mobilization of the Russian armed forces.

Russia will use all "available means" to protect its territory, Putin said.
