This is not a bug report, just presenting how things work at the moment in ROP Gold
As the Russians, I get the message that the French(!) have bought a traitor in Silesia, apparently for the Austrian siege of Kosel!
See the last but one message.

Austrian control in Kosel is 68% so they must be sieging, moreover, there was a message that Austrians made an extra breach in Kosel.
Looking at these messages and at the control of regions, you get a pretty good general idea of how the war is going deep into Fog of War country.
