King Ivan III, seeing Shaded Coast intervene, has sent out his troops to defend the Fazketian Kingdom whilst his army at the Samainian colony fight for the Resursnayzemlya region. "With this sudden strike made by one of our eastern neighbors, we shall defend ourselves from the seemingly belligerent Permafrost Pact as we were the first to assume that a region near us would be full of resources. Furthermore, Uma suggested that we take the rest of the region since they recognize all of it to be ours, hence why we attacked Samainia's colony for its resources. Now, if we could negotiate for peace, we could try that; however, if we fail to come to good terms, then we might consider joining the Chain Alliance in order to further strengthen our relations with Uma and potentially gain new allies should future conflicts begin" — King Ivan III
