The Soviet people is shocked and appalled by the attack by Maryland and Egypt on Spain and in particular the use of atomic weapons to slaughter millions of Spanish civilians.
This is made worse by the fact that Maryland, Egypt and Spain are, or were, all considered firm allies of the Soviet Union, and all are, or were, members of the Communist Union. This makes the Mediterranean War tantamount to fratricidal fighting.
For the time being, the Soviet Union shall remain neutral while the Supreme Soviet deliberates on the best course of action. Meanwhile we, in the strongest possible terms, demands an immediate ceasefire, and all belligerents to meet at the negotiating table. In particular, we demand that Maryland and Egypt withdraw from all occupied Spanish territories, end the blockade of Spanish ports, and cease using nuclear weaponry against the Spanish people, or the consequences may be dire.
