Every nation requires an army to protect its interests and afford changing the world’s history. The King of Tauria faced disorganised army, leftovers of the powerful fleet and lack of supplies and vehicles for Air Forces. Such a dreadful situation requires tough actions.
When ruler receives an information about his land forces, he immediately ordered to form a 1st Marine Division from 275th Coastal Defence Regiment, 12th and 19th Light Motorized Brigade. These units will be moved to Sevastopol and new marine battalions will be formed and start their training soon.
“We are a nation with an access to sea, and we have nobody who can fight at beaches?”
-commented by Taras, the King of Tauria.
In order to increase fighting abilities of currently deployed troops, they will partially repeat their training with slightly changed courses.

For RAFT (Royal Air Forces of Tauria (thanks Piggo for helping with the name)) changes going to be more harmful. Stocked Soviet jets are going to be put into service with small amount of modern planes.
Fleet is going to have a lot of updates. New ships are already in progress.
“If we have men who fights on beaches, we must provide them with support from the sea!”
-commented by Taras, the King of Tauria.
Furthermore, Crimean peninsula is going to get a new railroad system and highways. Also many new factories are going to be opened.

King Taras gives a pile of papers to the diplomats
Attention of taurian politicians is focused on the situation in Lithuania. King insisted on a diplomatic visit to Grand Duchy of Samogitia in order to improve their relations. And quite possibly supporting them in war.

THE JAMAICAN COLONIAL FRONT
10PM, North Coast of Jamaica
The sky was alight with embers, a thick sheen of orange glaring across the flat ground, the trees of banana plantations and passing cars. Cars started to stop and then suddenly speed on, police cars turning back as soon as they saw what they were dealing with.
Approximately 230 men were scattered across an area of the coast, burning nearly every field in sight, armed with firearms and old equipment. Cold War era flamethrowers burst into a song of rage as the torrents of fuel scorched across the crops, drugs or not, scouring the land and fueling the pollution in the sky.
Young boys ran throughout the excitement, picking up dropped helmets and sometimes weapons as the soldiers occasional mislaid their weapons in the chaos. Journalists began to arrive from nearby towns, following some brave tourists and locals, armed with cameras and recording equipment.
A thick, hell-born haze coated every sight, the shape of men running through the fields, occasionally the crack of a rifle as police attempted to get even just a little bit close to the source of the fires.
The journalists would get a quick shot here and there, using the silhouettes as framing and the police lights as balance. One photographer ran towards some palms, desperate to get a good shot of some of the men doing this. He rushed towards a small group and dropped to his knees, firing off his camera in one shot just as what he presumed was a commander raised his hand.
"WHITE MAN, GET BACK, GO BACK TO SAFETY!"
Oil soaked dirt spat as the boots of the journalist scurried back where he came, only looking back as the commander yelled one last thing, a torrent of fire erupting behind him.
"GET ON YOUR PLANES, GET IN YOUR CARS, GO HOME! THIS WAR HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!"

• UPA, La Cumbre, New Cordoba •
Earlier this week a group of disgruntled Kergikstani workers, later joined with Lithuanian descendants and refugees, started to protest outside of the building area of the future Trinity Medical Facility, while the protest was peaceful at first, they were later confronted by several members of the conservative and nationalist center-right party known as Movimiento Justicialista de las Provincias Unidas, several members of the Metropolitan Police were dispatched to maintain order between both groups but due to on going discussions and other minor incidents, the Provincial Gendarmerie was called into action.
http://wduwant.com/index_uploads/uploads/03daf9aed3ad.png
The gendarmerie kept both groups separated from each other, but allowed them to continue with their protests, with any troublemakers getting arrested for trying to disrupt the peace. Later that day the Governor of Cordoba, Masahiro Ignacio Hanamura, gave a statement to the protesting Kergikstani workers, "You are allowed to believe and think whatever you want to believe, that's the beautiful thing about democracy, you might think the United Provinces of Argent is responsible for the lamentable event but we will continue to assure you that it wasn't the Provincial Army and that we will more than willing to help the Kergikstani Government find the answers they desperately need."

With the outstanding victory of the Grand Duchy of Samogitia on the city of Panevezys, the United Provinces continues to try and convince the Lithuanian government to surrender and accept the peace offering of the Grand Duchy, insisting that continuing the war would only mean more unnecessary deaths for both the Grand Duchy and the Lithuanian nation, but of course the Lithuanian authorities don't want to surrender and insist that the UPA shouldn't be helping the Grand Duchy. the United Provinces will continue to seek a peaceful end for the war, and will continue to help the Lithuanian citizens by either giving them shelter, food or medicine.

The efforts to modernize the TAM to modern tank standards continues, with successful initial tests showing promising improvements in the tanks defense while maintaining it's speed. This is one of the many improvements to the Provincial Army and with the help of the Republic of Herrera, the Tchvonian People's Republic of Tchvonia and the Grand Duchy of Samogitia, the Provincial Army will be among some of the strongest armies of South America.
http://wduwant.com/index_uploads/uploads/aded60bcf2a.png
The newer assembled tanks will be sent to Samogitia and later to the battlefield, the war will prove as a debut for the newer TAM model and hopefully provide support to the GDS Army and the Provincial Army.

As the Grand Duchy and Provincial armies prepare for the rest of the campaign, the new uniforms kindly donated by Herrera have been distributed to most units in the field, the old uniform will continue to be on service by the light infantrymen of the 21st and 22nd Platine Regiments.
• Mercedes, Corrientes, Argentina •
Twenty years ago during the Argentine Great Depression of 2001, or otherwise known by local Argentines and Provincials as "El Corralito", Argentina fractured into three regions, Platine Argentina on the North, Provincial Argentina on the Middle and Argentina Pampeana on the South. While both Platine and Pampeana Argentina did not separate, this left Provincial Argentina in the middle and separating both regions from each other, Provincial Argentine would later become the United Provinces of Argent.

Every year or two there's a summit between the United Provinces and Argentina and during this Summit several topics are discussed, however, more often than not it is the constant attempts from either Argentina to peacefully annex UPA or vice versa. After the 45 minutes summit, President Alejandro Usariaga stated to the press "as expected, the President of Argentina denies our legitimate claims, we are the capital of what once was a proud Argentina, and they are the remnants of a dead shell, yet they keep insisting that they are the true representatives of Democratic Argentina, it pains me to see the citizens of my native Corrientes in poverty or the Government house in such of weary state, this cannot continue any longer...".
[A few hours later in New Buenos Aires]
• UPA, Capital Federal, New Buenos Aires •
http://wduwant.com/index_uploads/uploads/66aef41aec36.png
In the office of President Alejandro Usariaga, Vice-President Melissa Medeiros and Chancellor Marcelo Usariaga along other several high ranking members of the government and the military reunite to speak with him on the ongoing events of the nation.
Melissa: Like I told you, Argentina is a risk to our democracy.
Alejandro: But they don't have the guts nor the will to attack us, they know they couldn't win even if their army is bigger.
Melissa: But for how long can we remain in peace Alejandro? Argentina might not be on the same level to us but there are other nations near to us that might see this as well... And that's why we should act now Alejandro.
Alejandro: You're talking of Republic of New Magellan? even if they are a menace and willing to take what is rightfully ours I doubt they have the intent to be hostile with us...
Melissa: They fear us, just like those filthy Estonian pagans in Europe, as if their Old Gods even care about a group of spic Peacekeepers.
Alejandro: I doubt it, but they respect us... and that's an opportunity for us, to maintain democracy and order on South America and tightening the grip of Democratic Freedom on the region.
Melissa: What are we going to do then? just stay here with a thumb up our ass?
Alejandro: I know what you mean Medeiros and I understand... it is inevitable a future conflict, but it will only make us stronger, more capable of maintaining peace on the region and the world... but for now, we'll continue to help the Grand Duchy and Sumatra... also maintaining the Red Line with Tchvonia, since they've been more than helpful... Anyways, what else is on the table?
Melissa: I'm still in contact with Tacticus and we are still waiting on Ms. Dawson to come here and visit the Medical Facility.
Alejandro: I better get ready for that meeting... what is going on in Lithuania?
Marcelo: Lithuania refuses to listen to the Grand Duchy, the meeting lasted two hours but I couldn't get anything else besides their pleads for us to stop helping the Duke.
Alejandro: Understandable, their democracy is at risk, sadly their incompetence will lead them to their own demise... Let Jamaica and Lithuania be an example to you all, incompetence of the highest level is not tolerable with democracy, the people deserve smart and brave politicians to lead them in these hard times, those who fail at it will be met with Anarchy or will be consumed by nations like the Grand Duchy of Samogitia... on the other hand the Jamaican Colonial Front is the product of that Anarchy, just like the United Provinces was born to Anarchy, they may or may not raise to power now, but if they lack the values of democracy and the knowledge of power, they'll fall down just like the government they want to overthrow. We must never allow the Argentine region to collapse into Anarchy, never again.

The kergikstani workers and Lithuanian Refugees and denizens at first was still peaceful at the time when police forces arrived, but started to get more tense when UPA Provincial Gendarmerie arrived to the scene to start strictly pushing both sides to each corner to maintain order. While Both sides were still protesting peacefully, it all escalated when the counter protesters started harassing the kergikstani and Lithunian refugees, while trouble makers were indeed arrested there was an certain bias as some cops arrested the Workers and refugees more than Counter protesters, From what the Workers and Refugees see. It finally went to an Full out street war after an counter protester took an megaphone and rant about how the "kergikstani got what they deserved and the refugees deserved to have its country subjugated", This angered the workers and eventually one threw an hammer to the person who ranted with the megaphone and they started rioting and overran the police barricade and started fighting with both the already confused Metropolitan Police and members of Movimiento Justicialista de las Provincias Unidas. News choppers from UPA news group started recording horrifying and brutal fighting on the ground with one live footage of gendarmerie riot officer getting his hand and fingers beaten with an hammer by an mob of workers and refugees.

"Things are going alright so far, but we've got one of the loonies of the Right with a megaphone spewing bullshit... hm? ten-four, the robots are working fine, we've deactivated them for the moment since we think... Jesus Christ, that idiot is saying the kergikstani got what they deserved, have people forgot about empathy?... uh... wait a moment... uh.. What in the actual fuck?! WHAT THE FUCK?! one of the Kergi's just logged an ax on one of the metros! SHIT! they are throwing bottles! MARCOS! RUBEN! LA CONCHA DE LA LORA GET ORGANIZED YOU DUMB FU-- ONE OF THEM IS ARMED! GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND!"
Chaos erupts in the peaceful Cordobian town of La Cumbre as the infuriated protesters are driven by a violent lust to destroy and cause problems. While throughout most of the day the protests made by disgruntled Kergikstani workers and the Lithuanian refugees were peaceful, the constant harassment of the counter-protesters to the Kergikstani was becoming unbearable and it reached its peak when the leader of the counter-protesters started to disrupt the peace by insulting the Lithuanian descendants and refugees as well the Kergikstani workers. According to some Kergikstani workers in the scene there's was also racial or xenophobic based arrests made by members of the Provincial Gendarmerie, but this has proven immediately false as only one official arrest was made at the time of the incident.

In a joint effort between the Provincial Metropolitan Police and the Provincial Gendarmerie, they start to fire blank rounds at the violent protesters to spread them around the area, thanks to the use of MK1 Police Robots, targets carrying small firearms were quickly subdued without the use of lethal force, nonetheless, the event was chaotic as protesters tried their best to cause as much damage as possible in a short amount of time.
https://img00.deviantart.net/7e60/i/2018/251/4/e/poster_18_09_08_22_11_53_by_edwarddewey123-dcme4yw.png
By nighttime, the protesters were all subdued and arrested, while some of them were let go with major fines, others will be deported due to heavy damage to public property, some however, were arrested for their murderous actions, among them a Provincial of Lithuanian descendant named Joaquin Balthis who used an axe to violently attack a metropolitan police officer. The counter-protesters did not walk free either, the instigators were fined heavily for their actions while the leader was charged with Disruption of Peace, Public Disorder and Hate Crime.
Thus ends, in a tragic note, the protests at La Cumbre.

It is undeniable that as a democratic state in South America, the Rio Grande Collective has been a pioneer for progress and democracy in the region. With a strong army and a thriving economy, many other latino nations aspire to reach the pedestal the RGC currently stands triumphantly, while the United Provinces of Argent has nothing to envy the RGC, they see them as potential powerful allies... or as a dangerous menace... the Chancellor of the United Provinces, Marcelo Usariaga, was sent to speak with the President Marcos Schröder with the hopes of secure diplomatic protocols between the two nations, and if things go accordingly, a possible alliance.

Greater Sumatra has never been a stranger to a mirage of off-duty soldiers and mercenaries, many uniformed men walk the streets seeking for places to get drunk and relax until their next assignment, some uniforms more common than others, a rare visage has becoming quite prevalent in the capital of New Plymouth, the uniforms of the United Provinces Army.

It is no secret that the United Provinces has been sending troops to Greater Sumatra, mainly to do joint exercises with the Sumatran army, but many suspect that they'll also get involved with the conflict in the Aceh region and maintain the peace on the lawless north of the island. However, with the current military efforts in Lithuania, it is unknown when the Provincial Army will act against the insurgent forces of Aceh. In the meantime, the Provincial soldiers out of duty enjoy the extravagant night life of Sumatra.

The domestic enemies of the New Germanian Reich trembles with fear as their hope of defeating the national brainwashing propaganda machine is strenghtened by the states complete revamp and restructure of their internal and external security measures.
The Staatspolizei of the New Germanian Reich have been established as a needle, scissor and hammer of the states security.
The SP or NGRSP currently consists of three branches,
Die Ordung Polizei, also unofficially nicknamed Tac Effort by some.
Charged with manning a wing of highly trained soldiers, specialized in counter-terrorism and CQC.
They are used as the muscles of the NGRSP and are often seen snatching people right off the streets in their infamous black vehicles.
Their are regularly assisting the other branches in their duties.
https://i.imgur.com/oyQRw4X.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/tLKGdcy.jpg
Die Nachrichtendienst.
The intelligence branch of the NGR.
They scoop out any information about domestic and foreign threats to the state, as well as keeping tabs on foreign competition. Your regular spy service, with a swastika to follow.
https://i.imgur.com/qtVZofm.jpg
Die Verhöreinheit.
Specialized in interrogation and often act as the judge, jury and executioner.
Since the unit has great power and are capable of utilizing the Tac Effort, they have a short report schedule to the Reich's high command, keeping them on a short leash.
https://i.imgur.com/U51fuBb.jpg
Though a formidable fighting force, people not to be trifled with. The SP still only remains a small part of the larger New Germanic Reich, though able to assist in times of war in many ways, they are unable to fight the wars for the Reich, that job falls to the military.
HAPPY NOW WAFFLE?!?!??!

Early in the week, President Alejandro Usariaga gave an important speech to the Provincial people addressing important changes to the government, taxation, imports and exports. He also answered important questions made by the press such as

Alejandro: I've been asked recently by several reporters, citizens, friends and even foreign allies "why does the United Provinces of Argent get involved in wars they don't belong?" and to that I always answer, that now that we have the power to stand up to defend our nation, we must give a hand and help those in need, we must spread the values of equality, freedom and democracy, we have to do anything in our power to protect the weak from hate and mindless violence, and of course, fight those who exercise tyranny, authoritarianism and outdated politics that make the people starve instead of thrive. Some of you might ask me why I help a Monarchy like the Grand Duchy of Samogitia... and while it is true that they are based on outdated beliefs, they have embraced important values of democracy, they want to strengthen their nation and be another safe bastion in a troubled Europe, where the rise of Authoritarian beliefs have been... highly alarming... this is why the U.P.A needs to stand up and fight, fight to protect those in need, fight to strengthen the democracy of our allies, fight to protect the values of the civilized, fight to bring TRUE equality and peace!

During the early morning, the Provincial Air Force launched a relentless attack on several Lithuanian military bases, thus starting a more offensive campaign and bring aid to their Samogitian brothers-in-arms. Once they were done with the strikes, the 21st Mechanized Infantry unit led by Captain Juan Detardo Sanches led the initial assaults of the Lithuanian defenses, later joined by the 12th Mechanized Infantry, the 3rd Armored Regiment and several Samogitian Infantrymen, their mission is to clear the path for Samogitian troops.

The initial attacks were surprising, with superior training compared to their opponents, the UPA troops quickly took over an insurgent compound but they know the insurgents will grow in resistance the deeper they go into Aceh.

President Alejandro Usariaga has negotiated a deal with Tacticus Solutions for a $3.5BN project to bring TSoS CitiGrid to most of the country, the task will take several years to put the population centers of the UPA on the grid but so far hopes are looking high and TSoS surveyors are traveling around the country to begin the mapping process. Meanwhile, Tacticus Solutions CEO Johannes Sandström visited President Usariaga to showcase the TS security force and their tools of trade, most notably the TS Mk 8 Crusader multi-function robot. The Crusaders will be acting as the backbone of the TSoS CitiGrid project, helping keep the peace with UPA law enforcement as well as the CitiGrid first responders.

Lille, Herrera
Back in France, Tacticus Solutions was proud to announce that the city of Lille is nearing its TSoS CitiGrid installation conclusion. Expected to be finished in the coming weeks ahead of previously projected schedules, the completion ceremony will be an event for all to witness as the Herreran President will be flipping the switch to turn the system on and bringing his capital city into the future. A date has yet to be specified but a promotional image of the TSoS CitiGrid server farm and dispatch central has been shown to the public. Tacticus Solutions CEO Johannes Sandström released a statement to the public while in the UPA.
"We hope that all the hard work and ground breaking technology my company has brought to Lille will pay off for the people of Herrera, not just in Lille but throughout the country. They can rest easy knowing that the state of the art system my company developed and installed will benefit all, and will ensure that attacks that previously occurred are a thing of the past. CitiGrid will ensure peace, stability, and efficiency in the wonderful city of Lille."

Silent Nights
After a whole entire month and three weeks, the N.Y.F finally managed to wipe out the Bosnian defenders in the center of Sarajevo. With the majority of the Bosnian military threat eliminated, the president of the Federation has called the president of Bosnia to the negotiation table for a Bosnian total surrender, and has yet to hear an answer. In the meantime, units along the occupied-territory border with Croatia have dug in and prepare for the Croatian assault. SAMs remain on high alert, pilots at the ready to take off at a moments notice, and tanks with infantry on the ground with itchy fingers as they anxiously wait for the Croatian ground and (possible) air assault.

The Modernisation Begins
Experiences from the troops on the front in Bosnia have made extensive complaints, backed up by their COs, that the new M18-WD woodland pattern battle dress was not effective in the forests and woodland environments of the Balkans. Reports state that the camouflage sticks out like a sore thumb, having a horrid color palette. A Lieutenant went as far as to say that it was worse than Belgian Jigsaw. So the first baby steps of modernizing the Federation military begin; starting with the rank-and-file soldier. A new battle dress with M93 Oak Leaf was put into production and is starting to be handed out to units in the reserves. In addition, the 6B2 was selected as the mainline vest for the Federation for its infantry, and a more modernized version made with more modern, lighter ballistic materials. Sadly, this means frontline troops will have to wear M18-WD for a little while longer.

As the modernization of the United Provinces Army continues, their allies in from The Tchvonian People's Republic of Tchvonia and the Herreran Republic come to help in their training, this process of modernization of the Army was made possible both by the ambitious Minister of Defense and Vice President, Melissa Medeiros, and the enormous help of The Tchvonian People's Republic of Tchvonia and the Herreran Republic. Many left-leaning organizations have called into question this modernization of the army, but overall, the Provincial population see this change as positive and necessary.

There's a good chemistry between the Provincial Army, the Herreran Army and the Tchvonian Army, seen as other democratic allies who have endured through a lot in their long history, the Provincial Army aspires to be as brave and honorable as the Tchvonian army or as resilient and driven as the Herreran army.

Due to the enormous help given by Tchvonia, the old Colonel Dorrego Air Base has been refurnished and modified to be a base of operations for the Tchvonian People's Air Force (TPAF) and the Tchvonian People's Army Air Force (TPAAF) and renamed after the deceased President Mikhail Veselov of Tchvonia. The base will house around 2,500 Tchvonian men, along a regiment of 1,200 men of the Provincial Air Force.

Lithunia, Contested Area
An Recent Video circled around the internet and lithuanian forums and even spread through word of mouth, a video from a camera shows three Special forces operators bearing the kergikstani flag in the contested area of lithunia, In the video Spec ops were talking about the Downed Airlines and the Riot that happened in UPA, However before they talked about any information regarding why they are there, a lookout spotted the cameraman and it cuts abruptly with sounds of gunfire heard before the video ends, while its obviously apparent the cameraman survived to upload video, the government of kergikstan took down the video and officially denied Kergikstani operatives in lithuania and blamed it on propaganda by detractors. This video before taken down had rumors spreading from the Lithuania army all the way to refugees and other people some claiming the kergikstan army is helping the war torn country while others claim there here to speed up the take over.

German Delagation being greeted my Samogitian Military officials
Diplomat delegation has arrived in the GDS from New Germania. Diplomats come with a proposal which could help GDS interests. The GDS was offered a treaty of a Germanian-Samogitian Friendship Treaty, dubbed the Holthusen-Kupstaitis Pact, which is a non aggression pact which would allow both sides to stand at ease as it assures there will be no war between the Samogitian and Germanian people. But in reality the treaty is a mere cover of it's true purpose; a delineated sphere of interest in Poland. Both sides have already decided how they intend splitting Poland in the upcoming war. This side of the treaty is currently secret to the public and only high ranking officials of both states know the true face of the treaty.

A day ago, in his office in the Casa Rosada, the President of the United Provinces of Argent speaks with President Amelié Beaumont of the Republic of Herrera, President Aleksandra Veselov of the Tchvonian People's Republic of Tchvonia and the Grand Duke of Samogitia, Philippe Von Konigsberg, through a secure channel.
President Alejandro Usariaga: I trust both your judgement, but I ask this... is this the right option?
President Amelié Beaumont: I understand your doubts Mr. Usariaga, I am not entirely happy with this either but you must understand that they have ignored our legitimate pleads for justice, they've been a menace to Herreran Democracy for years and continue to be to this day, lets not forget the fact they have also ignored your claims and the claims of all Argentines and now Provincials.
President Alejandro Usariaga: You're right Ms. Beaumont and while I wish there were other ways to resolve this... we have no other diplomatic alternative. We'll join you... and I hope that this works out in the favor of all Herrerans, Provincials, Tchvonians and Samogitians.
President Aleksandra Veselov: While I am still unsure of this, I trust your judgment Mr. Usariaga, we'll support you.
Grand Duke Philippe Von Konigsberg: Worry not Mr. Usariaga, this is the right way for our nations.
President Alejandro Usariaga: [Under his breath] ...I hope so, I hope so...

The attack on West Falklands started on the late day. This caught the volunteer defenders of the Falklands by surprise, who quickly raised alarm and called for the support of the military stationed across the islands. The Provincial Army soon landed with one objective, take the island before the reinforcements arrive, estimated it will take over 48 hours for the English to send their best fleets to the Falklands.

English Channel, a couple of hours later...
The Herreran navy has seen rapid mobilization as a blockade has been set around the English channel, with Landing Helicopter Docks and Lille-Class Command ships being deployed as naval command posts. Loaded with troops, an invasion force has deployed on the Southern cost, with the intention of spearheading through London. With the surprise factor in their favour, the UK navy was unprepared to combat the Herreran navy, giving the invasion force only the Civil Defense Force to deal with until the UK's navy was ready to mobilize. To the east of England, a second naval convoy was deployed. It's purpose is to aid the eastern invasion force pushing through Middlesbrough, with as destination Manchester.

The War in Haiti has finally come to a swift closure, with the funnelling of Coalition troops over the Dominican border, and the efficiency of the Coalition's troops in dealing with what miniscule resistance the Haitians were able to mount. The upper echelon of Haiti's government has been captured by the Coalition, with most of them being sent across the border for processing and shipment back to the Coalition.

Patriot's City, Tchvonia
Almost two years after arriving in Patriot's City, work on Grey Storm's Kiev-class aircraft carrier, formerly known as the Novorossiysk, appears to be winding down.
The scaffolding that has cocooned much of the ship since December of 2016 is finally being removed, revealing a fresh-looking, yet surprisingly unchanged appearance. Naval experts had suspected for years that the ship was destined for conversion to a more conventional carrier design, in the vein of the conversion that the Novorossiysk's sister ship Admiral Gorshkov underwent prior to sale to India in the early 2000s. In its original configuration, the Kiev-class is of questionable practicality, especially with Grey Storm's aparrent lack of compatible VTOL fighter aircraft. The decision to retain the original design has raised many questions, though as per usual, no Grey Storm representatives could be reached for comment on the matter.
A heavy security presence still surrounds the section of the naval yard where work is taking place. Regular, heavily armed patrols have been working in coordination with local law enforcement to keep most journalists and sightseers well away from the construction site.
Kiev, Ukraine
After the Ukraine war fired back up again, the kergikstan garrison who were stationed alongside the Volhynians after ceasefire before. While already prepared and ready to Move in the operation became bogged down due to overconfidence by a inexperienced commanding officer, colonel Eleusiz amir. As an result of this most Combat Brigade units are bogged down in ukraine and some taken shelter in the buildings while some units have managed to push some ukraine forces out of strategic areas. Kergikstan Council leader Madiyar Kenesov at first reluctent to send reinforcements into ukraine after the Council voted in favor of sending reinforcements, had the infamous 68th Shock battalion and the 202nd Mechanized Infantry division sent into Ukraine after pulling them from garrisoned bases in turkey, though reports claim they will be arriving late to reinforce the kergikstan army garrison in turkey.

Kiev, Ukraine
The siege of Kiev is over, the Volhynian flag waves above the now destroyed Ukrainian parliament. Volhynian and ally troops rest in the city they fought over for roughly 6 months. The victory has definitely caused a morale boost among the Volhynian troops, and a devastating blow to the Ukrainian morale. Ukrainian troops are currently retreating to the eastern part of Ukraine, where they presumably will set up a strong defensive line.

The last skirmish between Volhynian, allies and Ukrainian troops took around 6 hours of fighting, from 7:30 in the morning, to 13:30 in the afternoon. Around 432 Volhynian troops are confirmed dead, and 675 wounded.
In total, 1006 Volhynian men and 620 order monks and militants has been killed in Kiev. Tchvonian and Kergikstani personnel is unknown.
The number of wounded reaches thousands. Civilian and Ukrainian military casualties remains unknown.

As Ukraine got involved in a war, it was clearly understandable that it fights against strong enemy. Taurian Defence Ministry took decision to start preparations for war against northern neighbor. According to the plan, while main Ukrainian forces will be tied up in battles on the western front, nearly 4 divisions with help of the numerous support-battalions are supposed to move into for 50-70 km.

Tsardom of Volhynia
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/107307/9ed10504-f427-46d8-97e8-3bad6ac68704/Inquisition_Tsardom_drug_bust.jpg
Above: an inquisitor patrol catches a couple of drug runners not far from Volhynian-Moldavian border. The runners have been using more advanced methods of smuggling narcotics undetected to evade inspectors. This group, however, glued cocaine bricks on inside of quarter panel - a relatively well known and easily detected method.
The Volhynian chapter of Order of Christ's Blood has grown very large since it's establishment a couple of years ago. It is so big now, that it essentially became a part of Tsardom's security apparatus that fiercely pursues the enemies of both the Tsar and the Order's established christian sect. This also includes the duties of state law enforcement as well.
Even the most uninformed individual has heard how zealously Order despises drugs. The Inquisition has openly stated that narcotic production, sale and use of these "unholy" substances is a form of a very serious heresy. And where there is heresy, you can count that the fanatic inquisitors are already sniffing around for people who commit it.
Perhaps the best display of such war on drugs is already underway near the desolate Tsardom-Moldavian border, where years of isolation and neglect have allowed the criminal organizations to use this region to smuggle the banned substances into the country. Though the fight has been effective at halving the smuggling rates, the problem persists, especially nowadays while the Tsar is committing massive resources to conflict in Ruthenia...
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/107307/66169fd6-eb4f-4674-b691-7731796b5ed5/Moldovan_village.jpg
Above: the impoverished reality of Moldavia. The region where law simply doesn't exist or there's no initiative for local government to uphold it. Scores of small settlements serve as replenishing points for festering drug smuggling network that extends not only to neighboring countries of Volhynia, ERR, Romania, but also as far as western Europe and Scandinavia.
The smugglers and their goods come from no other place but Moldavia. Already a forgotten part of Europe before the Collapse, this degenerate land has been completely overrun by criminals of all types, thanks to extremely corrupt government and crime families who divided the land completely unopposed. Public law simply does not exist here - it's made by those who have more local power, akin to medieval vassals.
These groups are simple crime families who profit from usual crimes - gun, drug, human trafficking. The power they hold is unrivaled by government that somehow still clings to it's existence. One can ask - maybe the government are simply puppets of these mafias to maintain an illusion that Moldavia has yet to fall to anarchy? Or maybe the government is mafia itself? Either way, the line has been blurred out long time ago. For an ordinary Moldavian person it doesn't matter - the local gypsy drug lord will pay the same money as the state if it had any semblance of authority in his town. And with such ignorance this failed country has been transformed into Europe's most infamous crime haven.
For Tsardom this was a headache for a very long time. Despite harsh punishments, even execution for Moldavian criminals caught in Tsardom, the mafia structures keep trying to slip their tendrils into the nation. Even the presence of militant Order can't scare them away. The drugs keep flowing and it's as if the criminals are openly mocking both the Tsardom and the Order...
Tsar of Volhynia Vitaly Romanov, had this to say to Vicar Anton Lazarov during one meeting: I can't understand how that shithole remained sovereign until now! It was a pain in our side for too long. Invading it and putting stop to that festering problem was like one of the few of my father's great ideas. It might soon be time for those troglodytes to witness what a real glory looks and feels like... as it stomps their faces in ground for all these years of mocking us, hehehe...

Above: Inquisition operatives and Volhynian internal security officers working on intel on Moldavia's most notorious criminal heads in central police HQ of Lviv.
It has been suggested many times that Volhynia, being the regional power, should simply invade and crush the insolent mafias since Moldavia's government either can't or chooses to ignore them. However, no solid statements on this have been made yet. For Tsardom and Order it appears that the most important priority now is to keep fighting the already crumbling Ukraine. Though these are dark and unpredictable times - one may never know when Tsardom decides to send a division or two over the border...
Furthermore, Inquisition has been recently actively working with Volhynian State Security to gain as much intel on Moldavian mafias and their leaders.

Though artillery shells still sometimes fall in Kiev, the battle is over and with it comes another phase of occupation. Kiev, being a city of more than few million residents, is in danger of experiencing starvation and increasingly cold autumn weather. Order high command in Volhynia has asked for 200 Hospitaller medics to provide the residents of Kiev medical assistance. Furthermore, a large shipment of various foodstuffs, drinking water and other supplies has reached the city as of late and is being quickly distributed to the people. It's expected that such humanitarian effort of Order will ease the tensions and make the citizens content.

Above: woman collects valuable metal and useful scraps to exchange for other useful items as a Volhynian military patrol passes by.
The life for people of Kiev is no easier than in other war-torn cities. Months of siege and battle have severely dwindled the resources in city and shortages have been lingering for weeks now. Humanitarian efforts launched by occupying forces have helped a lot, but people are still struggling.
An initiative was started to encourage the citizens to collect valuable metal parts, scrap and other items and exchange them for food, cigarettes and clothing. The battle has left lots of metal laying in streets and the occupiers hope it will clean up the streets and help the city to recover faster after the war. The idea is not yet widely supported, as people are aware that there are live shells and other explosive ordnance among piles of metal. This means that explosive ordnance disposal teams will have to work overtime to remove this danger in Kiev.
