Throughout September, discussions for a truce between the Liberty-Labour Coalition and Upper Suvania were suggested, intended to direct forces towards the ESS and their allies rather than continuing to waste resources in combat with each other. Preliminary talks were held in Zastava, Upper Suvania on September 9th. These talks were nominally opposed by parties aligned with the LLC, with Provisional First Minister Temuulen Altani, whom acts as the leader of the Noble Opposition, threatening a split between the two factions if such an agreement was to be made. Criticism also came from the Vistari Government, with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Count Adelbert van Edalavia stating, {{quote|The position of Her Imperial Majesty's Government is that in which such an agreement would, for the part of the Liberty-Labour Coalition be an endorsement of the Totalitarian Socialism enacted by the Suvani Socialist Republic, as well as the Militant Secularism promoted by the Army of Progress. To sign something like this, the Liberty-Labour Coalition would be making concession of their freedom and their ideals, and we cannot offer our support if such a course is taken.}}

==== Ulaanuura Bombing ====
On October 12th, 2021, the detonation of a bomb, that was deemed 'to an almost certain degree' to have been planted by the [[Cryria|Cryrian]] Intelligence Service, in the Tsaizal-controlled village of Ulaanuura destroyed the poorly-built foundations of the local school that the Army of Progress had been using partly as a supply centre, while also - according to both Army of Progress sources as well as the Vistari Government via a report made in association with the General Directorate of International Development and Living Standards - still functioning as an educational institution. The building collapsed, killing around 30-40 civilians, as well as a number of AoP reserve troops, notably some which included AoP members born in [[Cryria]] and [[Ellesborg]]. While the attack gained little strategically, with a majority of the supplies having been retrieved, the bombing was notable as a rallying point for the Neo-Progressist movement in the region, with a majority of sympathy for the NKS in North-Western Tsaizal evaporating, despite the Khanate allegedly not having ordered or condoned the planting. The weeks leading up to the blast saw the release of leaked SÄPO reports through a number of social media outlets. The reports, later picked up by Cryrian News Networks, indicated that the Mandate of Ellesborg was thought to face a "significant risk" of AoP-sponsored attacks in light of recent actions undertaken by the group in the region. According to one of the few statements released by Abel Menstrat, such plans did not exist, further noting:
