The Ausferilandian Winter War
Ausferiland, an ally of the VSO which neighbors Zolevskoy, an ally of the ABC Defense Etente and Kruppstadt Pact. Although both countries have remained at odds since the Ausferilandian coup in 1996, tensions came to a boiling point in September after a terrorist attack struck Acre, the capital of Ausferiland. A Zolevskoyan ethnonationalist organization claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed over 80 civilians. In response, Ausferilandian president Petko Alexander introduced the Citizen’s Security Law, which would force ethnic Zolevskoyans to be expelled to the northern regions of the country. Ethnic Zolevskoyans begin protesting throughout the country, which begin to be suppressed by the Ausferiland National Defense Force after two weeks of rioting. Outraged, armed protesters take over the city of Glaz in northern Ausferiland, and soon after declare the creation of the Republic of South Kardzhali. Rebel forces, aided by a number of ethnic Zolevskoyan ANDF forces who defected, begin to make gains in the region.
Now it is November, only 2 months since the beginning of the war. Despite the OCN attempting to bring the war under control and bring peace, some do not want the war just yet. While Zolevskoy and it's allies seek to bolster the South Kardzhali rebels and weaken a VSO ally in the region, the VSO seeks to bolster the government forces and prevent Zolevskoy from gaining influence in the region. Neither side intends to back down from the fight until one bloc succeeds, and Ausferiland is is their newest battleground of Vesperia.
11/12/2020 - President Valov reasserts commitment to to Ausfer-Zolevskoyans despite Ausferilandian backlash

President Valov reasserted his commitment to supporting the Zolevskoyan minority in Ausferiland and the South Kardzhali prot-state today, stating that any threats to the existence of Zolevskoy and it's people will result in a "decisive and overwhelming" response. These comments come at the same time as he confirmed that an additional 20,000 troops of the Republic of Zolevskoy Armed Forces will be deployed to the border region, including several batteries of PPSD-20 SAMs and cruise missile launchers. Speaking to reporters outside the Montazh though, Zolevskoyan defense minister Teodor Cherganski used less fiery language, saying only that Zolevskoy was capable of defending against any Ausferilandian threats, and that it's commitments to protecting the Zolevskoyans of Ausferiland were "set in stone".
"Ausferiland has committed themselves to threatening our people within and outside of their borders time and time again. Any threats against us allies will be met with a disproportionate response, both decisive and overwhelming." President Valov stated.
However, he also stated that ultimately, he wishes to end the civil war in Ausferiland peacefully, and that Zolevskoyan military deployments are to ensure that the thread of spillovers can be dealt with quicker.
Meanwhile, VSO and allies have continued to back the Ausferilandian government. Granzerian prime minister Szabolcs Černý has seemingly brushed off Ausferilandian discrimination against ethnic minorities, stating that "the Ausferilandian people and government have every right to decide what best national solutions work for them, the Granzerian government has no right to dictate to Ausferiland how it should or should not treat the citizens that it represents." Granzery has maintained a military presence in the country to train and advise Ausferilandian armed forces, much to the dismay of the Zolevskoyan government. Nonetheless, many fear that any further escalations could sweep away any hope of a peaceful resolution to the civil war which has already claimed over 90,000 lives; most of which are civilians.
