Belskorski announces military aid package for Wallenland amid insurgency

President Belskorski visits Wallenland

Following a tumultuous series of meetings at the 2024 Leaders Summit in Kalea, President Vladimir Belskorski visited the Adulan island nation of Wallenland for trade and security talks with King Lo'ánma and Prime Minister Alo'abàkradíno, capping a vital connection for the Beleroskovian federation as it aims to reextend its sphere of influence internationally. Belskorski landed in the capital city of Vao'okoà, which has seen months of unrest from an insurgent group known as the ELN, and pledged to send a military package to the Wallenland Defense Forces, including 12 Khromov UL-17s and 2 Khromov UL-19 fighter jets. The conflict with the ELN has left hundreds dead, unrest in a nation long unfocused by the international community. Beleroskov is also preparing to extend recovery aid following last month's deadly volcanic eruption of Mount Bapò'iliop, in an effort to not only restore damaged communities but provide a much needed boost to the country's fledgling economy.

"We are hopeful to bridge gaps and increase ties between our two great nations," Belskorski said in statements alongside the island's Prime Minister and top military commander, General José Ālpamínahné. "This starts with reassurance and trust, and in doing this step we are providing a substantial source of aid to the United Kingdom of Wallenland in this turbulent time."

The guided-missile cruiser VY Rusanov Lodovich will accompany 800 Beleroskovian soldiers who will deploy to Wallenland to assist in ongoing security protections. Most of the conflict between government forces and ELN insurgents has taken place in the Northern Hoħoàbà’iliop region.

While Wallenland's isolation from continental mainland and major shipping routes has led to much of the international community turning a blind eye to the plight of Wallenland's nearly 11.5 million inhabitants, Beleroskovian economists say that Wallenland's potential to foreign investors found in offshore mineral and oil deposits, extensive resources, and agriculture makes it a contender for an emerging market. Additionally, as the largest of the southwestern Cantalle island states, the necessity of a peaceful Wallenland "is essential to the region's stability and future", said Foreign Minister Aleksei Borisovich.

Belskorski had intended to visit Wallenland next week, but pushed up the timetable for his state visit after a contentious series of meetings at the 2024 Leaders Summit in Kalea, where according to a representative he engaged in "fiery arguments" with delegates from WEDA and the ANS, including Quetanan President Emília Medeiros and New Anea Prime Minister Paul Wasserbaur over his government's continued support and financial protection of ousted Elastani leader Bahadar Panwar.
