As of 6:30 AM UTC, Umbra's Federal Defense Ministry has released the following statements regarding recent events: 1: Regardless of AC's recent participation in the Hunsderan annexation of Waffle Empire, FRU will continue to provide military support to protect its democracy. 2: The FDM criticizes SC's intent to provoke conflict and hatred through aggressive propaganda operations. The annexation of the Waffle Empire isn't SC's problem to begin with, neither does it impact any members of SC. It is an event used as propaganda to spread anti-AC sentiments. 3: It should also be noted that it was an annexation due to the fact minimal conflict had happened, and SATO investigators had not found evidence of war crimes. FRU refuses to advocate for the annexation, however we refute many false accusations from the SC. 4: Since Hunsdera is not a member of SATO, we may not press charges even if they are found guilty. As of AC's participation in the annexation, the SATO council is still discussing the validity of their justifications.
FDM is issuing SC a warning: Any further accusations and misinformation campaigns will lead to a cut in all diplomatic connections. Die wacht am Rhein - HOI4
