Russians and US Agree to Ceasefire and Withdrawal in Chernarus

Grand Central Times - November 2nd, 2019

In the aftermath of the heavy fighting near the city of Berezino in Chernarus last night, diplomats from the Russian Federation and the United States met Stockholm to hold emergency talks as tensions reached a possible breaking point. The negotiations went long into the night, but reports say both wanted to prevent a full-scale war, and at 6:00 am local time, an agreement was reached. Both the US and Russia have agreed to withdraw all military forces from the territory of Chernarus over the coming week to defuse the crisis that has entered its fourth week and saw its bloodiest points in the conflict over the past few days. Some have put blame for the increase of fighting on the United States’ increased support of the Republic of Chernarus in the past week, while Russia and the DPRC appear to have halted their offensive actions in a failed attempt to consolidate.

There have also been indications of a possible purge of members of the Russian military leadership, with several high ranking officers not being present at the Security Council at this week’s meeting. The head of the Chernarussian Front and the Deputy Minister of Defense Ivan Gorkov, who had made several public statements in favor of a larger intervention in Chernarus, were not seen at the meeting, with no statement about their absence being made. The Ministry of Defense also denied that heavy fighting had taken place at their airbase north of Berezino, though they did state there had been a large fire at the ammunition bunker on the base, causing severe damage to their facilities there.
