"The final troops have departed Ukraine and not further Jesstopian troops remain in Ukraine, as part of the United States Of Jesstopia's full military withdrawal from the country. Welcome home to all Jesstopian military personnel, who should never have been sent overseas," tweeted President Laylin.

"There is absolutely not reason that troops should have been sent over seas to fight a war between two other countries," said President Laylin in his press briefing. "The United States and Ukraine's key allies didn't send troops over there, and we were the only country that had troops fighting alongside Ukrainian soldiers, needlessly dying for what? A war that Jesstopia should never have gotten involved with."
