Baron Jebr Skronores, Vanukean Ambassador to World Congress:
Mr General Secretary, Members of the General Assembly,
The Kingdom of Vanuku has carried out a tactical nuclear missile strike targeting the Deltarian Army, which is illegally occupying the southern parts of Jelbania and attempting to annex that region to its own nation. This attack was purposely aimed at a location which would minimise civilian casualties whilst maximising its effect on the Deltarian troops and their equipment and defences. It is our estimation given the size of the warhead used that initial Deltarian casualties will be in the region of 50,000 personnel over a 10km radius area.
"This missile strike was ordered by the Prefect of the Grand Council after consultation with the Armed Forces High Command, Senior Members of the Cabinet, the Leader of the Opposition and His Majesty the King. The action was taken to prevent the prolonged loss of lives on both sides - which is estimated would run into the hundreds of thousands to acheive conventional victory - avert further humanitarian crises and to bring the conflict to an end.
As a result we have issued the following statement to the Deltarian government and are now awaiting their response:
"Understanding the overwhelming and superior power of the Vanukean Armed Forces, and faced with no proposition of being able to continue in this conflict without complete destruction, the Deltarian Government must carry out the following actions:
- Withdraw all Deltarian forces from Jelbania (the Greater Jelbek Steppe) territory with immediate effect - this refers to all those territories now commonly known as the Katonid Khanate, the Free Republic of Jelbania, the Northern Khaganate and the Western Tribal Areas.
- Immediately retract diplomatic recognition of the Katonid Khanate as a de-jure state or sub-state and officially recognise that that entity must be dissolved in order for a unified and peaceful Jelbania to be restored.
- Recognise that Vanukean troops may remain in the Northern Khaganate, western tribal areas and Free Republic of Jelbania to maintain peace until a lasting treaty of peace and unification is signed.
- The Deltarian government will agree to a ceasefire and are compelled to attend a subsequent peace conference aimed at unifying Jelbania, free from illegal occupying forces and based on the stipulations made above regarding the dissolution of the Katonid Khanate.
We expect compliance on all these matters and for that compliance to be communicated to Vanuku immediately. If Deltaria fails to agree with these demands we will see its as a continuation of hostilities between our nations. Therefore, we will be compelled to use secondary nuclear missile strikes to achieve our objectives - this will lead to the total annihilation of Deltarian armed forces in Jelbania and the liberation of the Katonid Khanate by force."
