Hello and welcome to todays edition of ‘Ahrana Today’ where we bring the news of the wurld and of home to you, the viewer wherever you may be.

To today’s edition: The Ahranaian Government issues its official condemnation against @Cruciastada and its allies, the Ahranaian Patriarch formally makes a public statement of condemnation of the Cruciastada Government and its Orthodox Church, the new governments official statement on the outgoing governments Annual plan, and much more here on ‘Ahrana Today’.

The Ahranaian Government under the guise of the Chancellor Kjerstin Heskin. In this official condemnation the Ahranaian Parliament has also passed an act making the sanctions official and wide spread. The official condemnation from the Chancellor reads as follows:

Good morning,
The Confederation of the United Kingdoms of Ahrana condemns the invasion of the Republic of Manamana by the Cruciastâda Social Republic.
On 19 August, Cruciastâdan forces crossed an internationally recognised frontier without declaration and without provocation. This is a war of aggression. The Government of the Cruciastâda Social Republic bears sole responsibility for it.
The Parliament of the Confederation adopted Joint Resolution No. JR-2026-04 condemning the invasion, by 190 votes to 45 in the Assembly of Representatives and 118 to 29 in the National Council. This morning I signed Federal Executive Decree No. ED-2026-017, with the assent of Her Majesty the Monarch, imposing comprehensive sanctions.
Ahrana has closed its trade with the Cruciastâda Social Republic, banned its energy exports into the Confederation, frozen the assets of its state, its central bank and its officials, cut its banks out of settlement in the Krone, and closed our airspace, ports and waters to its aircraft and vessels. An arms and dual-use embargo takes effect immediately. Our Ambassador is recalled and theirs is expelled.
Ahrana will not recognise any border altered by force, or any annexation of Manamanan territory, at any time.
These measures are directed at a government and at those who profit from what it has done. They are not directed at the Cruciastâdan people. Food, medicine and humanitarian relief are exempt.
They will be lifted when the shooting stops, the forces withdraw, the prisoners and deported children come home, and the investigators are let in. Not before.
Thank you for your time.

The Ahranaian Patriarch of the Ahranaian Orthodox Church, a figure who is seen as the stabilising figure in the Western Hemisphere of Orthodoxy Wurldwide, has also release a formal public condemnation against the Cruciastâda Government and the Cruciastâda Orthodox Church:

Karl Lugas Johansson, by the mercy of God Archbishop of Peterburi, Metropolitan of Moskovo, and Patriarch of All Ahrana:
To the Most Reverend Metropolitans, Archbishops and Bishops, to the Priests and Deacons, to the Monastics of our holy houses, and to all the faithful children of this Patriarchate, grace and peace.
On the war.
On the nineteenth day of August the armies of the Cruciastâda Social Republic entered the Republic of Manamana. Towns have been shelled. Relief has been turned back at the roads. Families have been carried out of their homes to places they did not choose, and among them children have been taken from their parents.
We name this what it is. It is not policy. It is sin, and it is the shedding of innocent blood, and no reason of state washes it. The commandment given at Sinai has no clause exempting governments. Those who ordered this war stand under judgement, and no border they redraw will follow them past the grave.
On the Church of Cruciastâda.
It is a heavier thing to say what must now be said to brothers.
We have heard the hierarchs of the Orthodox Church of Cruciastâda bless the weapons of this invasion. We have heard the war called holy from the ambo. We have heard soldiers told that death in this campaign remits their sins. We say to our brothers in Cruciastâda, in sorrow and without pleasure: you have taken the Cross, which is the sign of a God who refused to defend Himself by killing, and you have hung it on an artillery piece.
The teaching that an aggressive war sanctifies those who wage it is not a difference of custom between sister churches. It is an error touching the Cross itself, and we reject it. A shepherd who blesses the destruction of a neighbouring flock has ceased to shepherd and has become a chaplain to the state that pays him.
Therefore, by our authority as Patriarch, and having taken counsel with the Holy Synod, we decree:
First, that the name of the Patriarch of Cruciastâda be struck from the diptychs and shall not be commemorated at any Divine Liturgy served within this Patriarchate, from this day, until he repents publicly of the blessing he has given.
Second, that no hierarch, priest, or deacon of this Church shall concelebrate with any hierarch or clergyman of the Church of Cruciastâda who has blessed this war or has kept silence in the face of it.
Third, that our representatives be withdrawn from every joint commission and dialogue with that Church, and that we hereby summon the primates of the Argic Orthodox Communion to an extraordinary Synod, that the Communion may judge together whether the sanctification of aggressive war can be borne within it. This Church has been autonomous since the Council of Raiko in the year 842, and we speak here on our own authority and not on the authority of any government.
Fourth, and let this be read plainly in every parish so that none mistakes it: we have not closed the chalice to the ordinary faithful of Cruciastâda. They did not order this war. Any Cruciastâdan Orthodox Christian who comes to our churches is to be received, confessed, communed, buried, and consoled as our own. Any priest of that Church who has refused to bless these weapons and is in danger for refusing may come to us and will be received with honour.
On what we now do.
Every monastery and every parish of this Patriarchate is to open its doors to those fleeing Manamana, and to give them bread, a bed, and the dignity of not being asked to explain themselves. A relief fund is opened at Peterburi this day and every diocese is to contribute.
We call the faithful to a fast on the Wednesday and Friday of each week until the guns are silent, and we direct that at every Liturgy the petition for the peace of the whole wurld be offered aloud with Manamana named in it.
Pray for the dead of both nations. Pray for the deported children by name if you know them. Pray also for the soldiers of Cruciastâda, who are for the most part somebody’s frightened sons, and pray, as we are commanded and not as we would prefer, for the repentance of the men who sent them.
Blessed are the peacemakers. It is not written that blessed are the strong.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
