KORVALIS NEWS NETWORK PRESIDENT ZELENSKA APPROACHING HER SECOND YEAR IN OFFICE President Karina Zelenska is quickly approaching her second year in office. Zelenska promised during her campaign to crack down on corruption within the government, particularly in the military and police forces. She has carried through with her promise, arresting many government officials, generals, and admirals who were engaged in bribery and other forms of corruption. Despite making countless enemies within the government, she quickly became a hero to the common people. President Zelenska's other campaign promise, to end the United Socialist States of Korvalis policy of isolation and closed-borders, has also been reached. Korvalis is undergoing major renovation to create a tourism industry, which will create more jobs. President Zelenska's approval rating remains above 90%, a record for any Korvalisian president.
PRESIDENT ZELENSKA'S BACKGROUND
A native of Medžske, Vyerlatsk oblast, she attended Deza National University where she earned her B.S. in Political Science. She then served in the Korvalis People's Liberation Army as a Para-Commando officer. During the attempted military coup nine years ago, Captain Zelenska famously defied military orders to storm the capital building and arrest the then-President and his staff, and instead stormed the army headquarters with her troops to put an end to the coup attempt. Despite being forced out of the military afterward, she was awarded the Order of the Gold Star, and named a "Hero of Korvalis". Zelenska was elected mayor of her hometown of Medžske by a landslide, before becoming a Central Committee Member and representative of the Vyerlatask oblast. Zelenska ran for president two years ago against 11 other candidates, and won with an 84% majority vote.
KORVALIS STARS UNEXPECTED VICTORY The Korvalis Stars made an unexpected comeback in last night's baseball game. At the 9th inning, the Korvalis Stars were behind 1-4, and many fans had already left the stadium. With bases loaded, the star batter managed to hit a home run that won them the game (see more in Sports).

KORVALIS NEWS NETWORK PAVLO LITVINCHUK, MASTERMIND BEHIND ATTEMPTED COUP, HAS ESCAPED PRISON
It was discovered earlier today that Pavlo Litvinchuk, the infamous Korvalisian general who orchestrated the attempted coup 9 years ago, managed to escape from his high-security prison cell. A joint investigation has been launched by the Military Intelligence Directorate and National Bureau of Investigation to discover how the 67 year old Litvinchuk managed to tunnel his way out without being discovered. Pavlo Litvinchuk is 6'0", 200 pounds, with a grey buzzcut and a tattoo on his left inner forearm that says "Death Before Dishonor." Pavlo Litvinchuk should be considered dangerous, and should not be approached by members of the public. A £5,000,000 reward has been posted for anyone who provides information leading to his arrest.

KORVALIS NEWS NETWORK LITVINCHUK CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY, LOYALIST AND REBEL FORCES CLASH
A video was released online today of former Korvalis PLA General Pavlo Litvinchuk, where he took credit for the car bombings earlier today. Seen with him were other former PLA generals, Colonel General Mikhail Lopotev and Lieutenant General Gregori Kovalenko. The three of them called President Zelenska and her elected officials a false regime, one that had been elected into position two years ago through a sham election full of fraudulence. No evidence was given to support their claim. Litvinchuk, Lopotev, and Kovalenko called upon the military to rise up against the false regime, and for citizens and true patriots to join them in their struggle against Zelenska. Immediately after the video was posted, reports started coming in of military and police forces turning against each other, and of ordinary citizens attacking one another. Pro-Litvinchuk rebel forces are attempting to fight an all-out war against Pro-Zelenska loyalists. The government urges people to seek shelter as loyalist forces attempt to regain control of the situation. Loyalist government forces have placed a £10,000,000 bounty each on Pavlo Litvinchuk, Mikhail Lopotev, and Gregori Kovalenko. Rebel forces have placed a £10,000,000 bounty on President Karina Zelenska, and £1,000,000 for the remaining officials in her cabinet.

KORVALIS NEWS NETWORK CORRUPTION ALLOWED GENERALS TO ESCAPE The investigation launched by the Military Intelligence Directorate and National Bureau of Investigation into the circumstances that allowed Pavlo Litvinchuk, Mikhail Lopotev, and Gregori Kovalenko to escape from Rodynsyzk Maximum Security Military Penitentiary has uncovered widespread corruption in the ranks of military corrections personnel. Litvinchuk, Lopotev, Kovalenko, and other conspirators behind the attempted military coup became famous celebrities within the prison, and many of the prison staff sympathized with them.
The three generals were able to use their status to slowly corrupt the personnel, including having contraband brought into prison for them. The three generals promised the prison staff numerous times that should they manage to escape and regain control of the government, they would reward all those who had assisted them, and punish those who didn't. When they had enough leverage over the staff, they were able to convince many to simply look the other way as they began tunneling. Other officers were convinced to disable security cameras and systems. Those they couldn't convince were blackmailed into remaining silent.
Dozens of prison staff have been arrested for their role and complicity in allowing the three generals to escape. Inmates within the Rodynsyzk Penitentiary are being sent to different prisons and penitentiary units.

KORVALIS NEWS NETWORK PRESIDENT ZELENSKA ADDRESSES NATION
"Comrade citizens, I am addressing you today not as your President, but as a citizen of Korvalis. Today marks a dark chapter in the history of our great nation. Pavlo Litvinchuk, the disgraced general who masterminded the attempted coup nine years ago, has escaped from prison, and together with his cowardly followers, they are attempting to overthrow a democratically elected government.
"I have no doubts in my mind that we will overcome and defeat this adversary. I defeated him myself nine years ago. Then General Litvinchuk gave me an unthinkable order: an order to take my company of Para-Commandos, storm the nation's capital, and arrest the President and his staff, so he could be installed as an autocrat and lead this country as a military dictatorship.
"But I had sworn an oath to defend Korvalis and our ways of life, and instead I led my troops into the army headquarters and seized Litvinchuk and his command staff, putting an end to the non-sense. And now, Litvinchuk is attempting to finish what he started. He remains a fool, blinded by delusional dreams of grandeur of being a dictator.
"We know for sure that we do not need this war. The casualties will be our brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, children and grandchildren. This infighting will be a disaster for our nation, and this disaster will come at a high price. People will lose their homes, their quality of life, their freedoms. But the main thing that people will lose will be their loved ones.
"That is why our main objective is to apprehend the fugitives Litvinchuk, Lopotev, and Kovalenko, and bring an end to this senseless fighting. Our goal is peace in Korvalis and the safety of our people. For that, we are ready to defend ourselves, our glorious country, our way of life, our freedom!
"To our troops who have not picked a side, who are unsure of where they stand, remember the oath you swore, to defend our nation and our people. And to our troops who have betrayed their oaths, who have betrayed the trust of their people, know that your reckoning is at hand.
"Glory to Korvalis! Glory to our military! Long live peace and brotherhood among people!"

KORVALIS NEWS NETWORK REBEL FORCES CUT OFF FROM NETWORKED BATTLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM An inside source in the Korvalis People's Liberation Army, who is speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that military high command has cut off rogue units from being able to access the sophisticated networked battle management system. For this reason, rebel forces are having to mark their tanks and vehicles with a white Л, or L, for Litvinchuk, as a means of identification.
However, those same vehicles still appear on battle management system's maps, along with rebel infantry forces who are still using their government-issued equipment. Our source referred to this as a turkey shoot, citing that loyalist fighter craft and helicopters are decimating rebel forces.

With news of his death circulating through the country, all but the most diehard of rebel forces are surrendering to government forces.

KORVALIS NEWS NETWORK WAR CRIME TRIALS BEGIN, NATION BEGINS REBUILDING, ZELENSKA REFUSES LIFETIME APPOINTMENT
Trials have begun for war crimes committed by rebel forces. So far, 165 individuals have been identified as either having given orders, or carried through with orders, that resulted in committing a war crime. Pavlo Litvinchuk has been cited by numerous witnesses as giving orders, alongside Gregori Kovalenko, and was found guilty. Litvinchuk is scheduled to be executed by firing squad before the end of the day.
The nation is recovering from the shockingly quick rebellion, being dubbed the "24 Hour War". Military engineers and utilities specialists are being lent to mayors to assist with repairs and disposing of unexploded ordnance. Though brief, the conflict managed to cause several hundred million pounds of damages. The government promises to expedite repairs to get the nation back on its feet again.
Earlier today, the Central Committee voted 6-1 to appoint President Zelenska as "President for Life". Zelenska was the sole opposition vote. Despite the vote, she says she's refusing the position, stating "While I'm honored that my comrades think highly of me, the fact remains that we avoided one autocrat from taking power. We're not about to install an unelected official, especially for a position as important as President."
