Recruitments continue, but it does not appear that the volunteers are engaged in the operational sphere. On the other hand, at the moment, they would be of little use.

The wave of raids in Idlib is a message: stop or we will resume hitting you systematically. Moscow cannot afford a partner war with the offensive in Ukraine underway.
The cause is the uncertainty linked to the new Ankara offensive in Kurdistan. The factions fear being squeezed between the TAF and the SDF, who also have the SAA on their side.
Ankara amasses forces on the borders of Raqqa and Hasaka. In addition, it holds exercises with allied militias and increases the pressure of artillery against the Kurds.
They exploit the networks dug by the former ISIS when it was in power. Objective: to hide the weapons and missiles from the eyes of the satellites and the F-35s of the Jewish state.
