Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces
~Concerning military support and alliance negotiations

We are delighted to see that the Grand Duchy of Veomo accepts our military support on the war against Ukraine. Preparations to set up a military base near the Ukranian border started this morning, and supply lines will be up and running within a few days. What pleases us even more is the willingness of the Grand Duchy to discuss the options of extensive political and military collaboration, for unity brings might and safety. We invite dignitaries of the Grand Duchy of Veomo and the Republic of Byronmandy to our territory where we can exchange ideas in peace, and maybe form an alliance. We can arrange a meeting at Kasteel de Haar for all interested parties on a suitable date.

If agreed upon by the Republic of Byronmandy and the Grand Duchy of Veomo we would like to invite all other interested nations, who share our views and values, to participate in a constructive discussion.

Alexandria- Monaco-Ville-Nice: Queen Cleopatra VII was sitting eating breakfast with her and the Pharaoh's twins. The trio were digging into a meal of yogurt, flat bread and olive oil, and mint tea. They ate off golden plates in the Queens personal dining hall. The Queen was giving the two 5 year old's a bit of a lesson on politics.

" What do you do if you have a criminal brought before you. A commoner of no real importance sentenced to die. You do however need to keep the commoners on your side and it's essential you use your divine mercy on occasion. So what do you do?"

The two 5 year old's looked around in though before the girl Selene answered.

"Pardon him?"

The Queen smiled.

"Yes love!"

As the Queen was praising her daughter Foreign Minister Loukas entered and bowed. The Queen turned to him knowing he likely had some news from the outside world as he almost always did.

"Pardon highness but we've heard from The Grand Duchy of Veomo."

"Yes."

The Queen replied.

"They send there appreciation for our offer and are interested in a meeting."

"Excellent! Send word to them that our hospitality awaits any envoy from the Grand Duchy here in Alexandria whenever they wish to meet us."

The Foreign Minister bowed again and excited and the Queen went back to her lesson.

From the Office of Darjistani Defense:
To the Grand Duke of Veomo

King Dizhwar would make it known, that Darjistan stands behind The Grand Duchy of Veomo in their war with Ukraine. Darjistan is in no position to provide military support. Both the numbers, and the logistics of transporting them at the current time are unfeasible. However, Darjistan has a very large oil supply, and as a show of support, does extend the offer to Grand Duke Kahv Eirm of an ongoing supply of oil to last the duration of the war. No commitment of reciprocity, neither present, nor in the future will be necessary. Darjistan is a proponent of Monarchies across the globe, and proudly supports them in their time(s) of need.

The President and the First Minister took a train from Livingston back to the capital after a week of stating the Chicanan Social Democrats case to the Northern Isle. As the leaders of government prepared to get back to the grind, Jason and Helene looked over the events over Veomo. Well, Jason asked a lot of questions and Helene tried to not use the letter opener to kill him. There were too many people present and the First Minister wasn't in the mood to kill a lot today.

"Wait, how many states are involved now?"

"*sigh* Sir, there are now four states involved in the Ukraine situation."

"Had San Lumen said anything? It's on their border."

Helene was shocked he paid attention to the map, and smiled for the first time in an hour.

"No, San Lumen has been rather quiet. I think that's quite a development considering the forces amassing within the Ukraine."

"I still don't get why Monaco-Ville-Nice and Byronmandy are involved with the case, as this isn't a border issue. And now Darjistan is involved?"

"Darjistan does tend to support monarchies so their action isn't a surprise. If our reports are right, Byronmandy is involved due to the United Provinces sending troops to assist the Veomese. As for Monaco-Ville-Nice, I figure they are interested in pulling Veomo into their circle of influence. Especially since they were late to sending support."

"So distance doesn't matter apparently. Did Kuwait stop being an issue?"

"Well the situation has stabilized far more in al-Kuwait while there is still fighting outside of Kyiv. Our expects still expect the Ukrainian capital to fall by the end of the weekend unless foreign intervention occurs."

"So our policy is to stay quiet?"

"Preferably. We have no evidence of atrocities yet and no interests in the region."

"But if we keep waiting for interest in the region, no matter what we do abroad won't matter. Won't we be marginalized in our home region?"

"That's the fear coming from some in the Union-Libs. But distance itself and relevance to state affairs pushes the issue lower on the ladder."

"Hm...have we received word on our proposed visit from the regent of Kuwait? We could request a visit from the Grand Duke of Veomo to St. John's when the war ends to discuss economic links. Maybe our non-interventionalist streak could rub off."

Helene started to wonder what was in her coffee. The President rarely makes sense behind the scenes and many wanted him to stand down in the upcoming general elections. One would think he wanted a third term.

"I think that's a splendid idea. I'll have the State Ministry send an invitation to Grand Duke of Veomo immediately for a visit."

Jason was excited Helene finally liked one of his ideas. He hated being seen as a simpleton to his staff due to Helene's standing in the Social Dems, so this was the best chance to assert himself on his own government.

Helene, meanwhile, made sure that the press corp was aware the Government would remain neutral on the war in the Ukraine, but had invited the Grand Duke to the islands for a visit.

The Ducal Palace - Baru Hurezumsa - The Grand Duchy of Veomo - 2:16 AM

It had been only yesterday that the Grand Duke had declared war against Ukraine, since that precise moment the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been with an overload of work. At the Grand Duke's dispatch five men were holding a meeting; the Minister of Defense: Marshal Markum Iubek, the Navy Commander: Admiral Bernhard Murdoch, the Air Force Commander: Air Marshal Albert Weiman, the General of the 2nd Army Division: Division General Lucius Löwe and HRH himself.

They were all over a tactical map of the region over which General Löwe was explaining: "We already have the control of these six bridges which are the only ones we share with Ukraine, all others over the Dnieper are in SUP's territory." he said pointing up the location of the six bridges. "By the breaking of the dawn 6th and 8th Brigades will have already crossed the river. At this moment recon says there's almost no possibility of encountering the enemy."

At that moment Air Marshal Weiman showed on the map: "2nd and 3rd Wings will provide cover during the crossing, while 1st Wing will patrol the outfall of the Dnieper and secure the airspace over Svaor. We'll keep the 4th in reserve"

It was Admiral Murdoch's turn: "The 1st Fleet is being mobilized as we speak. By the time of the crossing we expect to have the firsts squadrons to be in fire range of Odessa."

The Grand Duke smiled. "Markum, you shall leave immediately to Akiod. I'll be sending a missive to SUP so they can send someone over there to convey the details on the passing of the 1st and 2nd over their territory and how will the supply line work, this is an urgent matter we must determine before talking about long term agreements. Also it shall work as a preamble to the meeting at Kateel de Haar, to which I shall attend personally. As to our friends from south, their offerings are of great appeal, I've sent them an invitation to meet me on board of the Catarina during the following week, I'm just waiting for their response. I believe it is all for today."

~Concerning Military Meeting in Arkoid, Veoman Territory


As the general in command of the Royal Dutch Army Jan Pieterszoon Coen was driven to the Grand Duchy of Veomo he went over the details with his secretary. She was a bright and good looking woman, however still a girl in his eyes. She was the best secretary he ever had but that did not keep him from treating her like his daughter on occasions. As she sat there with a huge pile of papers he asked 'So Julia, this is you first time abroad isn't it?' 'Yes, I have never been so far away from home before... pretty scary actually' The general laughed in a fatherly manner and said 'You will manage, just stick with me and everything will land on its feet. Don't forget we are visiting a friend.' She nodded as if she was not so sure whether she would be homesick or carsick.

'We reachin the border gen'ral' said the driver as they drove towards a double checkpoint.

A few seconds later they halted at the Dutch post and one of the customs officers walked up to the car and stuck his head inside through the window. 'Please state your business, is their anything you want to notify? OOOH... HELLO miss, be welcome! We are not used to visitors especially not ones that look like....' He suddenly recognized the man sitting on the bench opposite to the girl of his likings. 'What the f... sir general sir, excuse me sir please head on.... ' He saluted and gave a hastily sign for his colleagues to open the gate. The secretary closed the window and looked at the general who was getting tears in his eyes of laughter. 'Well Julia, the guys seem to like you much more than they respect me. Maybe its better to let you do the word in Arkoid' Julia blushed and replied 'I would rather do my own work general'. 'How many times do I have to tell you that my name is Jan, this is not an official meeting.'

At that moment the driver stopped at the Veoman post and said 'Gen'ral seem them been wait'n for yer arrival'. A man, clearly higher ranked than a customs officer approached the car and the general stepped out. They shook hands and exchanged a few words followed by them both nodding and walking back to their own cars. As the general stepped in he said 'Driver, we are to follow the car up front to Arkoid where the meeting will take place, it should take about 30 minutes to get there' 'Will do sir!'

'Julia you officially left the Seven Provinces for the first time in your life, how do you feel?' 'Must say... quite the same as a few minute ago.'
The general laughed 'I told you! Well let us go through the remaining papers now...'

Day 1

Akiod - General Command of the North Headquarters

Marshal Markum Iubek had arrived a few hours ago for an important meeting with an envoy from the SUP for arranging the details on the transportation of Veomian Troops over SUP territory.

"Major Bozhidarov, we are expecting a very important visitor from the SUP. I want you to go receive him at the border control, and escort him back here." "Yes, Sir!" -replied the officer - "Dismissed"

Three cars were waiting at HQ's entrance, Major Bozhidarov entered one of them and headed to the double checkpoint.

A few minutes later, a official looking car approaches the SUP's checkpoint, he assumed by the attitude of the customs officer, that a very high ranked person was inside that car.

As the car approaches the Grand Duchy checkpoint, he steps down of his car and walks toward the gate. The car stops, Major Bozhidarov walks towards the car as General Jan Coen steps down. Hands shaken, Major Bozhidarov says: "General, please follow us to the HQ, Marshal Iubek required me to be your escort. Your meeting shall take place as soon as you arrive." after a few more words exchanged, they both nod and walks back to their cars. The convoy leaves the checkpoint.

Almost an our later, they arrive at a highly defended checkpoint, they stop a few minutes while Major Bozhidarov speaks with the gatekeeper, behind it the General Command of the North Headquarters, a five stories large building of a placid whitish stone and mirror-glass, a sensible blend of classic and modern architecture, a jewel at Akiod's downtown, the Grand Duchy flag standing proud in the wind crowns the building.

The Grand Duke was holding a meeting with the Premier and his cabinet. They were discussing the proposals of the Republic of Byronmandy and the Empire. Darjistan's proposal was the next in the agenda. Hopefully they could meet on board of the Catarina, shortly.

Ukrainian Territory
The 6th and 8th Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Grand Ducal Army settle camp in the Ukrainian side of the Dnieper river. Recon teams have been sent. 6th Brigade would guard the three southern bridges, while the 8th would keep the three northern ones.

The 5th would be arriving shortly to begin the incursion into Ukrainian territory. The first stage is to take over Odessa, Mykolayiv, and secure the downfall of the Dnieper.
For that the 1st Fleet was being mobilized. The 1st Naval Squadron, a fleet of destroyers was already at engaging with Ukrainian navy, while a little behind, the in the CSG, a couple of squadrons of the carrier air wing of the naval aviation is taking off. A few moments later, the airspace over Odessa bay was under control of the Grand Duchy, and the CSG was providing assistance to the 1st Naval. The submarines of the 2nd Naval Squadron arrived shortly after.

~Concerning Military Meeting in Arkoid, Veoman Territory


As the car approached the Veoman HQ the tension began to rise in the car. The driver stopped talking, a thing he rarely did, and Julia wondered again if she maybe was going to be carsick. The general however seemed untouched by all this, he kept repeating that they were about to visit a friend and that they should not worry.

The Veoman authorities directed the car in front of a white building where an arrival committee was already waiting. The general stepped out and shook hands with a few important looking people. He and Julia were directed inside a beautiful room where they could fresh themselves up a bit. After 30 minutes a lackey came to bring them to the meeting. The general followed immediately but Julia hesitated. 'I... I... it's scary, I can't go'. 'Nonsense, you will do fine. Come on!' said Jan Pieterszoon Coen, which was enough to push her over the edge.

As they followed the lackey no one spoke a word until they arrived at two huge doors. The lackey halted, turned around, and said 'General, madame, the conference room'. As the doors opened the general whispered 'You have my back, I've got yours', and they entered the room.

King Jason had been watching the developments in Ukraine very closely and was waiting for the right time to issue a statement. He was in his office signing several important documents when there was knock at the door. King Jason was wearing his usual black leather pants and black leather jacket.
"Come in.'' The King said as the door opened to Prime Minister Dolores Lantingham and General Percy Fitzzwallace and Secretary Thomas. All three did the customary bow.
"Thank you for coming both of you. Please have a seat.'' The King gestured towards the ornate sofa in his office. The two gentlemen sat down and the King got up to go sit across from them.
"So if you could both could please enlighten me as the situation in Ukraine and if you feel it is nessacery we get involved. I don;t want Ukraine to fall to an extremist regime and see a possible invasion. I'm certain the Grand Duchy of Veomo would welcome our assistance in this matter.'' The King announced.
"The Grand Duchy will likely need assistance in Northeastern Ukraine. According to our intelligence the Ukrainian Army has Kviv well defended and there are reports of clashes near our border with them. The Grand Duchal Army will need assistance in Northeastern Ukraine and we must secure our border to prevent this war in Ukraine from spreading. '' General Fittzzwallace said.
"I was thinking the same thing General. I knew we would have to become involved eventually.'' King Jason said in response. "Prime Minister how quickly can you get a resolution passed in Parliament?'' The King asked.
"First Your Majesty if I may say so you look very handsome in leather.'' The Prime Minister said but she quickly got back on topic. "By tonight your majesty. I shall have Secretary Thomas contact the Foreign Ministry office to inquire about the assistance we can provide with the Royal Navy as well as Royal Air Force assistance in Northeastern Ukraine.''
"Excellent and thank you for the compliment Prime Minister. General I would like you to tell our bases in Hungary to be on alert. Also inform the Secretary of the Navy to place the Naval Division in Darius on full alert as well as the Division in Bari as well. In the meantime I will be contacting the Grand Duke's office. Get the Secretary of Homeland Security over here as well. '' King Jason announced.
"I will inform you of any developments Your Majesty.'' The Prime Minister said as she went to contact her staff. A few minutes later she reentered the room with the Secretary of Homeland Security as well as the King's Chief of Staff. This was King Jason's first international crisis since taking the throne and this was his first chance to show the world that despite his youth he is a strong leader. King Jason had his Chief of Staff dial the Grand Duke of Veomo.

Day 1

Akiod - General Command of the North Headquarters

As the two doors opens revealing the figures of the dutch General and of a very beautiful lady, Marshal Markum was standing on a side of a large table. A set of three screens behind him was showing reference maps of the region, satellite images and high altitude photographs of the Dnieper front with tatical drawings over it. It seemed as they were discussing the advance of the veomian troops.

"Ahh! Welcome General Coen. We have been expecting you. Please take a seat. The Army Commander General Krystof Ivankov, and the commanders of the four brigades of the 1st Army Division, shall be with us during the meeting. They are Brigade General Stenger, Brigade General Hume, Colonel Marinov, and Colonel Jankovic" - said the Minister of Defense while indicating each of the officers, which when named stood up and greeted the guests.

As a cabinet meeting was taking place, one of his royal highness secretaries brings him a small note on a silver plate. It was a phone call from the United Kingdom of San Lumen.

"Excuse me gentleman but I must take this call." The Grand Duke said while dismissing for a while his interlocutors. He walks to his desk, picks up the phone and simply say "Pass it through"
