Editing Great Ural War (section)

=== Early diversionary attack and Republican/Kazakh intervention ===
At the start of the war, [[Chuvashia]] and [[Tatarstan]] played defensive on Chuvashia's border with the fascists while [[Tatarstan]] went on the offensive and attacked the Union of Russia's south, which was almost entirely cut off by the radiation with only a small sliver of land connection to the rest of the country. Quickly, the Republic of Russia alongside Kazakhstan decided to join the war to secure as much of the Union of Russia's south as they could before Tatarstan gained control over it. At the same time, Chuvashia began pushing in the north, which the Union of Russia wasn't paying attention to due to the attacks in the south.
