All of this was followed rapidly by the now democratic Russian national republic declaring war against Alyeska, or rather in its words “getting a wayward region back in line”. ANAN did not sit idle and immediately deployed troops to Alyeska.

==== Russian invasion (8th of August 1978) ====
“If I had to say anything about the first months of the war, it was simply put getting our shit together, the Russians hit us hard and unexpectedly we were scrambling to pull it all together.” - Commander of the 53rd Slag Korps Lieutenant General Joost Wessink
The war began on the 8th of August 1978, when Russia launched an attack against ANAN forces that were moving into the newly independent Alyeska. The attack caught the ANAN forces by surprise, ANAN intelligence, especially the Tussenland Directory of Intelligence had expected a potential counterattack but had miscalculated the date by 13 days. It was later revealed that both the NNL intelligence agency and the Mexican intelligence agencies had kept information from Tussenland in this regard.
Russia her initial objectives were simple, reclaim Alyeska for Russia and secure its borders. It was hoped that the swiftness of the attack combined with the force would lead ANAN political leadership to hesitate and thus withdrawal as a conflict would be too costly. Thus it would lead to the status quo remaining, for Russia this was important it was around this time that Russia was in political chaos, and its military while still a power to be reckoned with, was feeling the effects of the political and civil disorder within the nation. It was thus considered important that the attack was swift.
At first, it seemed to go well, Russian forces caught the ANAN forces, primary units from New England and Mexico off guard. They were pushed south over the course of 4 months, a combination of ANAN her inability to mobilize its forces quickly, air power and surprise allowed the Russians to push ANAN out of the “core Alyeskan territories” and to the southernmost region of the nation. IT was there that ANAN after 4 months was able to allocate its proper war-fighting potential, in the form of the 53rd Battle Corp (Nieuw Nederland) and the 92nd Corp (New England) that were able to halt the Russian advance, slow it down and stabilize the front, while Mexican navy and Tussenland air force elements maintained operational air and sea supremacy in the areas of operation.
By the 1st of December 1978, the front was such that ANAN forces had managed to secure the western border regions with Tussland, the southern areas of Alyeska. At the same time the Russians despite experiencing a great deal of setbacks, had managed to take the core regions of Alyeska as well as maintain control of the island Shiskov, which allowed Russian forces to maintain constant attacks upon ANAN positions.
