Due to the extremely close ties between the Kyivan' Rus and the FUtSR, solidified and proven by test of blood in the War of Anti-colonization in Spain, it is the duty of the FUtSR, not Caucasia, to care for the peoples of the fallen Kyivan' Rus. Although we recognize that both the Kyivan Rus' and the FUtSR fall under your protectorate act, there is simply a greater alternative for the Kyivan' Rus at this time.
Please remove your forces as FUtSR peacekeepers, stationed in Kiev and major cities already, will be stepping in to restore order.

This is an illegal act by Caucasia. Not only does the land fall back into the hands of the FUtSR, but Caucasia is not a long term ally of Kyivan Rus. As fellow founding members of PEPTO, the Republic of Finland is mobilising to bring stability to Kyivan Rus, and we suggest that Caucasia cease it's imperialist actions.

The land should become a joint PEPTO protectorate, not a landgrab for a single nation with little diplomatic ties to the area.

Classified:
4th Airborne, 8th Airborne, and 12th Airborne, have been mobilized and are preparing to arrive in Kyivan Rus via aircraft.

OOC: I simply agreed to recognize the Crimean-Caucasian act.
IC: We once again request the Caucasian forces to remove themselves from the Kyivan' Rus. Not only does the FUtSR have rights to the region, the nation of Kyivan' Rus also recognized the PEPTO protectorate clause, which makes the former nation a protectorate of both PEPTO and the FUtSR. Let us not squander over the obvious.

You are breaking a legal PEPTO claim over the land. Kvyian Rus recognized the PEPTO protectorate act, meaning their land falls under PEPTO jurisdiction. Withdraw your troops at once.

Kyvian Rus was a founding member of PEPTO, and recognized the clause stating that their land would fall under PEPTO protection if they fell into anarchy, thus, PEPTO DOES have the final word. We protect our allies.

PEPTO has a stronger claim to protect the area than Caucasia, who has nothing but their own words. We have the consent of the Kyvian Rus people, we have the consent of their former government, and we have an actual treaty with them.

What Caucasia is doing is illegal imperialism, nothing more. PEPTO has full legal rights to control the area, and as a founding member of PEPTO, we are exercising our right. Any attack on our peacekeepers will be an act of war. We are willing to allow a joint protectorate, but only if Caucasia removes all military forces from the area.
