In a rare televised broadcast Crown Princess Remilia Firenze thanked the international community for taking in her subjects in their time of need, and expressed her gratitude to the defenders of Ikireijin for defending the city. She then hit back against states urging a return to the negotiating table stating that, "The empire will never negotiate with traitors that kill innocent people."

While the Princess addressed members of the media, multiple military transport planes have been seen ferrying troops into the city, slowly ferrying troops and refugees in and out of the city.
