Shattered Peace; Ch. 3

The Office of the President, Kyiv, Ukraine, Feb. 14 2019

General Kovalenko:"Sir, Russian forces have control of Sevastopol and are approaching Kharkiv, Sumy, Shostka, and Konotop. Also, ..."
President Kushnir:"Hold on why didn't we see this coming?!"
General Kovalenko:"We thought they were moving there forces just for an exercise with Belarus, but yeah and that brings me to the next problem..."
President Kushnir:"And what do you think that exercise would be for?!"
General Kovalenko:"Sir, before you interrupt again, Belarus is also invading!"
President Kushnir:"What?! Where?!"
General Kovalenko:"Belorussian forces have been spotted north of Kovel, Korosten, and Cherniv. Though these forces are smaller we have to put most of our effort into the east against all of Russia...Sir, I request we either authorization to use nuclear weapons or see if NATO will help..."
President Kushnir:"No nukes! We use one and Russia empties on us! We'll try to get a hold of NATO, but I don't know how they'll react. They'll probably say we should have been nicer to Russia to prevent this."
