Your child IS already UK citizen (as long as your husband obtained PR before his birth)
If a child is UK citizen, then one parent can apply for UK passport, and they do not need a consent from another parent. (They will need to send to passport office child photo, child birth certificate, child foreign passports, and proof of their PR acquired before child birth - probably also marriage certificate of parents, though I think not)
You should try to apply for pre-settled status (or settled if you were in UK for 5 years already). You have until end of June 2020 to do it, otherwise your legal status in UK might be in danger.
But since your status is derivative from your husband you most probably will need his documents to do so.
Note that there are also alternative ways to apply for pre-settled status (if your relationship goes bad):
- retained rights of residence (if you divorce)
- as a primary carer of UK or EU child (for that you just need to be child's legal guardian and provide "day to day care") - note that here it might be actually better for you if your child in UK citizen (does he have German passport now? Or only Russian one?)
