Quote: "Nearly 40,000: the number of soldiers the Russian armed forces have lost since 24 February. Tens of thousands more have been injured or maimed.

Everyone who is still in contact with someone in Russia, or has any way of passing on information to Russian society must convey this simple fact to everyone they can reach."
