Stockholm (KTN) — After Ryccia announced that the country will rebuild their nuclear arsenal, Chancellor Stella Kaufman announced that the Valkyrian Republic will reassert their "right of nuclear defence" and condemned what she calls "unnecessary provocation" by Ryccia. On the floor of the National Assembly, the chancellor said, "Everyone knows that Bruuma is a threat to peace and democracy in the world, but overt statements meant to provoke the Bruuman state are not only irresponsible but dangerous to the security and stability of the Valkyrian Republic and the region." Kaufman said that the Valkyrian nuclear arsenal will be maintained, but did not address whether more nuclear weapons will be produced as a result of this international development.
