Russia is losing signs of functioning state
- State borders of RF are not clear
- Criminals are being equaled to servicemen
- Private army commanders have more influence than regular's army
- State has no monopoly on violence
- Heads of regions dictating foreign policy
Happy to have a small role in this report by @dananinanao for @Folha on the situation of Kurdistan & Iran.
Also thanks to @BeriShalmashi for the time and energy

Humaydi Daham al-Hadi, prominent sheikh of the Shammar tribe in Northeastern Syria has died.
Most likely his son Bandar al-Humaydi, leader of the tribal Sanadid Forces will take over sheikhdom of the tribe.
For three consecutive days, the Russians have been storming the Ukrainian positions in the Bakhmut area, Donetsk region. Fights go on at a distance of 15-50 meters. Russian soldiers are dying in their place come others. The field is littered with the corpses of Russian soldiers.
We asked Russian mercenaries and contract soldiers who have already fought in Moscow's war against Ukraine what they think of the new mobilization campaign. One said that on his first day in Ukraine, "I realized I had made the biggest mistake of my life."
