Hahklallian D.P.R. increases defense spending ahead of Ninsk talks

Posted Image

MOSKAU—With less than two weeks until elections and the talks in Ninsk fast approaching, Hahklallian Premier Nikolai Truschkov pledged to spend $770 billion on strengthening the D.P.R.'s military over the next 10 years, the biggest military spending spree in the D.P.R.'s short history.

Mr. Truschkov vowed to deliver an "effective and asymmetrical response to foreign imperialist plans for Skien". If approved, the program would tack on more than $120 billion to a $650 billion defense-spending increase pushed through last year, even though a top official warned it may push Hahklallah's budget past its breaking point. "It's obvious we won't be able to develop our international position, our economy or democratic institutions if we cannot defend Hahklallah," Mr. Truschkov wrote in an article for the government-owned Khakhklalyan Gazeta newspaper. "We must not tempt anyone with our weakness."

The manifesto is the sixth in a series of pre-election articles Mr. Truschkov has published in recent weeks. Mr. Truschkov—a former N.K.V.D. operator who has tried to project himself as a strong leader and bulwark of Hahklallian stability—is expected to win presidential elections. Mr. Truschkov said that a stronger military would give Hahklallah more presence on the world stage. Moskau has accused the Pacium Union of overreaching with its plans for Skien, which were accidentally leaked via the internet. "New regional squabbles are sparking before our eyes," Mr. Truschkov wrote. "There are attempts to provoke such conflicts in the immediate vicinity of Hahklallah's borders." Hahklallah's program to modernize its army has come under fire before, most notably when finance Councillor Alexei Kudrin lost his job last year clashing with Councillor Georgi Andropov on defense-spending increases, which Mr. Kudrin said would dangerously stretch the country's budget unless they were accompanied by higher taxes.

Mr. Truschkov, however, said his plan doesn't represent a militarization of Hahklallah's budget, but will instead "make up for all those years during which the army and navy were chronically underfinanced." He urged military planners to look 30 to 50 years ahead to predict the emergence of "new weapons that could change the character of war." More immediately, he urged the development and creation of Hahklallah's space and strategic nuclear program.

Mr. Truschkov also promised to beef up support for ground forces. "New weapons should be developed through original research and development, rather than copying those manufactured in the North, or elsewhere," he said. By the year 325, more than 85% of Hahklallah's planned 1.1 million-strong army will consist of professional soldiers, though he didn't say that Hahklallah will eliminate the draft by that time—once a key goal of the defense ministry.

Religious Extremists sieze city of Nikolaisberg, declare independence

Army tanks engage rebel vehicles—Anton Zorodny

MOSKAU—Following weeks of protests, and the resignation of the City's Police Chief, religious extremists have seized the City Hall, and other key buildings across Nikolaisberg and declared the province of Vostok Zemlya to be a free and independent nation. "Sektavse Ottsu" or "Sect of the Allfather", a violent group of polytheists has claimed responsibility. Several clashes between insurgents and police ensued, in which fifty officers and twelve insurgents died. The military was deployed to the area, and Army tanks began engaging Insurgent Vehicles and mortars began shelling Insurgent buildings.

The city of Nikolaisberg is notable for its instability, and protests and police clashes are very common in the city's limits itself. A large scale revolt in the city has not been seen since the revolution that overthrew the Monarchy nearly one-hundred years ago. Troops are being scrambled from nearby military bases to begin what the Councillor of Defense calls "The great Siege of Nikolaisberg."

Premier Nikoali Truschkov addressed the D.P.R. saying: "Countrymen and women, today, a group of hardline extremists seized the city of Nikolaisberg. They stormed government buildings, and executed public workers. They fought the police in the streets, and gunned down many forcing the remaining police to go into hiding. We are engaging in armed conflict with these..men who have illegally seized our land, and killed our people. We will put a stop to this."

More to come as we receive information.

A protestor throws a homemade incendiary grenade at Riot Police in the streets of Elektrozavadask—Ivan Vasiliov
MOSKAU—Following the uprising in Nikolaisberg, riots have broken out across the D.P.R. Several major Hahklallian cities have reported clashes between protesters and local police units. These riots sprung from a combination of unrest due to the recent rebellion, and rumors that votes may have been rigged to re-elect Premier Truschkov. These are the worst of such kind of protests since the fall of the old regime. Army tanks and soldiers of the Spetsnaz and the N.K.V.D. have been deployed to Moskau, and several other elements of the Hahklallian military are awaiting deployment to cities like Elektrozavadask, Voronezh, and Kemerovo. Clashes in Moskau resulted in the death of one soldier and fifteen rioters. Hundreds have been injured, and hundreds more have been detained. One government official called this, "The end of Hahklallah as we knew it."

An armored vehicle of the Hahklallian People's Armed Forces preparing to fire on rebel positions—Karrik Shafikov

ELEKTROZAVADASK—Following attacks by the Sect of the Allfather, counter attacks by the P.A.F., and a bombing run gone bad the city of Elektrozavadask is in a state of chaos. Shortly after combat elements of the 22nd Mechanized Battalion were attacked outside of the city, a pair of St-313 Ground attack jets made a run that would change the entire course of Hahklallian history. Four heavy bombs meant for destroying tanks were dropped in the city center, where a peaceful protest had been organized. The resulting explosions killed many, leaving no injuries. Hahklallian Social Media site litsokni.hak was flooded with posts pertaining to the bombings, and violent protest groups sprung up almost instantly around the country.

It seems what originally started as an illegal seizure of government property by a fringe group, has somehow turned into a full blown civil war.

Vitaly Krupin chosen to replace Nikolai Truschkov as Premier, at end of his 10 year term.

Vitaly Krupin, being interview on the Moskau Today Show earlier this week—Sabina Pavlov

by Sabina Pavlov | April 7th, 324 | Following a ten year reign, Nikolai Truschkov was dismissed with Extraordinary Honors from service as Premier of Hahklallah April 2nd, 324. He guided the nation through one of its toughest moments, and began the operation in Novvy Edem to clear out the remaining terrorists. He is considered by most, one of Hahklallah's most heroic leaders. The Scarlet Council, full of fresh new representatives nearly halfway through their year of service, then began the arduous task of interviewing and selecting a single public servant to serve in the nation's highest office for another ten year term. Out of 435 different candidates, it was narrowed down to three by April 6th. Final interviews began this morning, and finished moments ago, with Vitaly Krupin emerging the victor.

Krupin was born in Nikolaisberg, and at age 42 is the youngest man to come to the office of Premier since Nikolai Truschkov in 314, at age 46. He was interviewed on the Moskau Today Show, earlier this week and was asked what his plans as Premier were. His response was not too shocking. "If I am to be given the honor of holding the office of Premier, I've got quite a few ideas. Firstly, I'll finish what my predecessor started and bring Novvy Edem back into Hahklallah. I will also convince the Scarlet Council to re-examine Hahklallah's position on the world stage, and its involvement in international super-pacts. Thirdly, I will deal with the Perentese Issue, whether it require a diplomatic solution or a military one." He is also quoted saying. "Hahklallah has tremendous potential. I do not think we should be wasting our time on fools errands, ever. I promise that I will not involve Hahklallah in something, anything, unless it advances Hahklallah's potential and place on the World Stage."

Hahklallian Scarlet Council denounces new Abėrian law

Hahklallian LGBT Rights Activists protesting the Abėrian law, Moskau—Sabina Pavlov

by Sabina Pavlov | February 5th, 325 | Hahklallian lawmakers have united today to express their opposition towards a law put in place by the lower house of the Abėrian Legislature. The law, a "Morality Act", is aimed at "restricting anti-moral attitudes". The bill officially penalizes the "distribution of information about homosexuality to children" and "anti-moral attitudes" with a jail sentence ranging anywhere from ten months to three years. The legislation will impose hefty fines for providing information about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender practices, holding gay pride rallies, or showing inappropriate behavior in public as well, breaching the terms of the law could require you to pay up to $15,000 for an individual and $100,000 for media or political organizations. The bill will also ban citizens of countries that allow same-sex marriage from adopting Abėrian children, and allows the Abėrian government to block visas to those foreign citizens who have a "history of anti-moral behavior".

The Lower House of the Scarlet Council passed a spur-of-the-moment denunciation package, that was pushed through with full support. From there it went to the Upper House where it received similar support from Hahklallah's Citizen-Lawmakers. Anatoli Pavalov, a serving Council Member and main penman of the Denunciation Package was interviewed by the H.N.N. and is quoted as saying: "Nations all over Nysa, all over Oracia have for centuries accepted the fact that Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, and Transgender people are normal. Hahklallah has granted the LGBT community equal rights for as long as it has existed. The Abėrian Government seeks to destroy this cultural norm. They are a government filled with hate for those the don't understand."

The Package goes into effect Februarty 6th at 12:00 A.M., and will include several trade and political ramifications. Councillor Pavalov also had this to say: "This kind of thinking needs to be killed. It is poisonous, it will bring society down on our heads. The Abėrian people have been misled, but we must prevent their government from misleading others."

Premier Krupin calls for re-establishment of diplomatic relations between the D.P.R. and Abėrė

Posted Image
Premier Vitaly Krupin appeared on national television to urge the Abėrian Government to consider re-establishing their embassy within the D.P.R.
claiming that it is vital to finding a diplomatic solution.—Anton Zorodny

by Viktor Anatoli | March 20th, 325 | Vitaly Krupin appeared on national television today, making several official pleas with parties involved in the "Embassy Scandal" brewing between Carpathia and Moldova and Abėrė. Mr. Krupin, appearing cool and confident during a four-hour question-and-answer show, referred repeatedly to the way in which Abėrė and Carpathia were handling the situation as "un-professional" and "with disregard towards how they appear on the world stage."

In a surprising turn of events, the Premier also made a plea aimed at the Abėrian Government. "...We never asked for them to withdraw their embassy staff. I think, it was a sort of knee-jerk reaction on their part, I don't really blame them either after seeing what happened in Carpathia. Though I think its counterintuitive to our regional goals, towards what I think could best benefit both Hahklallah and Abėrė. I'd like very much for the Abėrian government to send their staff back. We had deployed two platoons of Motorized Infantry to protect their embassy grounds, before they left. Security isn't an issue and I think that we would be able to better mediate this situation if their embassy was active again."

Following the example of other leaders, Premier Krupin called for talks in Moskau, Iron Hollow or Falsea. He also offered to mediate the situation, saying Hahklallah was shifting course and taking a "more neutral stance on the entire matter." When the Denunciation Package came to his desk, he vetoed the articles that required economic sanctions, leaving in the official denunciation of the Abėrian Morality Law saying, "There is another way of handling this regrettable issue." The Scarlet Council has backed Premier Krupin in his statements, but only barely with just over half voting in support of him. The Premier gave no comment on the nationalization of Hahklallian Assets in Abėrė, except for saying "It is a decision I wish they hadn't have made."

Hahklallah calls escalation of Embassy conflict 'regrettable'

Posted Image
The Scarlet Council of Hahklallah issued an official statement aimed at the Allied States and Abėrė. —Petr Kasparov

by Viktor Anatoli | April 10th, 325 | In a turn of events, the Hahklallian Government has officially voiced its opinion on the escalation of events between Abėrė and the Allied States. After the closest vote in Hahklallah's political history, the Scarlet Council agreed to mobilize the Hahklallian Home Fleet, 1st and 2nd Carrier Groups to the area off of the Abėrian Coast to act as Peacekeeping forces. One Council member called the situation "a step in the wrong direction" and called moves to blockade Abėrė by the Imperium and the Allied States "the last thing the conflict needs." Hahklallian offers to mediate the situation have so far gone unanswered, both from Abėrė and the Allied States.

The conflict sprung from international condemnation of Abėrė's so called Morality Law, which bans the distribution of Homosexual and Immoral Propaganda to children. An Embassy battle quickly erupted between the Allied States and Abėrė, in which the Abėrian ambassador to the Allied States was murdered by an unknown mob and several Carpathian embassy employs in Abėrė were taken hostage.

The Hahklallian Naval Groups have been mobilized to the area to prevent foreign ships from getting involved in a shooting war. The Speaker for the Scarlet Council said: "The last thing we want is for the Ships of the Allied States or the Imperium to enter into a shooting war with the Abėrian Navy, even by accident. That would be n escalation for which we in the Scarlet Council believe would be entirely the fault of Hahklallah. This situation does not justify military action. It requires a diplomatic solution, I must again extend an offer of mediation to the Allied States and Abėrė. We must solve this situation."

Carpathian hostages delivered to Hahklallah for repatriation

One of the Carpathian hostages is reunited with her family in Moskau—Vladmir Petrovo

by Yulia Yevtushenko | April 12th, 325 | Following a statement made by the Abėrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, several of the released Carpathian hostages have been transferred to Hahklallah for repatriation. Abėrian Law Enforcement arrived at the largest of the border crossings between Hahklallah and Abėrė, and delivered two dozen Carpathian citizens into the hands of Hahklallian N.K.V.D. border guards. The Carpathians were brought into the barracks and given refreshments, before being escorted to Moskau where they would be reunited with their families today.

This was the first step in a rapid deescalation of the Embassy Conflict between Abėrė and Carpathia, which was followed by a Carpathian agreement to not enforce a blockade on Abėrė. The Carpathian citizens were flown home on a private Hahklallian Diplomatic Air Craft, which departed this afternoon.

The Carpathians have agreed to meet in Moskau for talks with the Abėrians, which would be mediated by Hahklallian Diplomatic Staff, though no word has come from the Abėrian government on this matter.
  • Hahklallian Ships deployed as peacekeeping vessels
  • Premier Krupin questioned on stance concerning Abėrė.
  • Hahklallian naval vessels deployed to the Mirovian to search for missing Carpathian sub.

Hahklallian D.P.R. joins in blockade of Abėrė, establishes No-Fly Zone over the nation

Posted Image
Two Hahklallian Stealth Jets take off from an Air Force Base in the West part of the country, on a mission to prevent Abėrian Jets from attacking blockading forces.—Vladmir Petrovo

by Oleksandr Turikov | February 4th, 328 | In a shocking move by the Abėrian Government more than 200 foreign citizens of Goldecia and Akitsu were detained, in what some nations are calling "an unforgivable, and unprecedented act by an increasingly fascist and detestable government." After meeting with the Scarlet Council the Councillor of Defense announced this morning that the D.P.R.'s navy would be joining in Akitian Vessels in a blockade of Abėrė's vital ports. He also mentioned that the Air Force would be establishing a no-fly zone over much of the Southern half of the Abėrian nation.

Premier Krupin voiced his disappointment in the Abėrian Government this morning, saying: "After the release of Carpathian Hostages, and the cooperation between our two governments for the Repatriation of said hostages a few years ago, we have had high hopes that the Abėrian Government was showing a bit of a change of heart. Obviously we were mistaken, and now we must take action to ensure that they [Abėrė] do not think they can get away with such blatant disregard for Civil Rights. It's just wrong."

The Navy is committing the 3rd Fleet to the Blockade, and nearly a quarter of the Air Force's jets in Western Hahklallah will be airborne.
  • Hahklallah shows off latest Military Tech at domestic arms expo.
  • The Scarlet Council retires the Blockade Censorship Engine, vows not to censor the internet again.
  • Scarlet Council applauds Akitian and Carpathian response to Abėrė Crisis.
  • Hahklallah calls up 45,000 reservists and steps up security along the border with Abėrė.

Hahklallian D.P.R. expands Blockade by including 4th Carrier Task Group

The 4th Carrier Task Group as seen from an orbiting Helicopter.—Aleksandr Nuriko

by Oleksandr Turikov | February 9th, 328 | In the Fifth day of the Hahklallian Blockade, the Scarlet Council and the Councillor of Defense have upped the ante even further. The decision to include one more of Hahklallah's newest Aircraft Carriers, the H.N.S. Boris Chekov, paints a bigger picture of Hahklallah's plans for the state of affairs in the region. The task group joins an already enormous group of Hahklallian warships who have been denying Commercial Watercraft access to Abėrian ports.

The H.N.S. Boris Chekov is know widely for its dual purpose, in that it doubles as a Missile Cruiser which is able to launch long range strike missiles at targets far inland. It joins it's sister ships, the H.N.S. Ludya and Panko.

Councillor of Defense mobilizes troops

Posted Image
Members of the 76th Guards Airborne Division of the Hahklallian VDV mobilizing.—Vladmir Petrovo

by Oleksandr Turikov | February 12th, 328 | Another step up in the crisis developing. The Councillor of Defense has authorized the mobilization of dozens of elite military units including the Guards Airborne Divisions, Spetsnaz GSZ units and the NKVD Reserves. This comes at a time when we are just receiving reports of Carpathian strikes on Abėrian targets. When questioned on what this was about, the Councillor's staff said only: "We feel that we must be prepared for any event, any outcome and every possibility. This is only to assure that our borders are secured and that we are able to do what is necessary to the survival of the D.P.R." While his Staff wouldn't say any more, several military analysts seem to believe Hahklallah is just a stones throw away from entering into the war itself.

With the onset of hostilities, the Abėrian fleet has pushed out of port and ever closer to the International Blockade. While this does not necessarily mean the Abėrians will attack the blockade, it does add a certain level of tension to the situation. Hahklallian pilots continue to maintain the no-fly zone along with Akitian and Aurentinan pilots, and there have been no incidents thus far.

  • Defense Councillor Natalia Poklonskaya: "We are prepared to do what we must to protect the D.P.R. and its interests."
  • Hahklallian Government decriminalizes recreational use of Marijuana officially.
  • Scarlet Council replacement underway, random selection of citizens to occur.
  • Cities in the West finish final test of Red Shield Missile Defense System, systems are "Ready for the real deal when need be."

BREAKING: Hahklallah declares war on Abėrė

Posted Image
456th Guards Mechanized Infantry Soldiers patrolling the border between Abėrė and Hahklallah.—Vladmir Petrovo

by Oleksandr Turikov | March 9th, 328 | Following much anticipation and speculation, the Hahklallian Councillor of Defense announced today at a Press Conference today the D.P.R.'s decision to follow many of its allies and acquaintances in declaring war on the Kingdom of Abėrė. Though the D.P.R. has not announced anything specific, it has said it will "excercise caution in any operations or incursions into the territory of Abėrė, so long as the Kingdom maintains restraint with Weapons of Mass Destruction." The N.K.V.D. Border Guard has been reinforced by regular military units and reservist units made up of veterans of the civil war. The Premier, when questioned on the decision said "We made it nearly immediately after the release of the footage. We decided that we could no longer stand idly by while civilians are murdered. We needed to act, it was the last straw."

Hahklallah is the fourth nation to declare war on the fascist Kingdom of Abėrė, joining Goldecia, Carpathia and Moldova and Arkiania.

  • Border skirmishes follow declaration of war.
  • Military Analyst: "Abėrė will launch missiles into Hahklallah, we will see how Red Shield works."
  • New Scarlet Council defends its first act.
