The "Cult Wars" would continue on into the mid-2000s and the new religious cult known as [[Yarkiye]], responded to the crackdown on "dangerous groups" with the [[2006 Volkgoroda bombings|deadliest terrorist attack on Volkian soil]]. Yarkiye's leaders were arrested, tried, and convicted for their roles in the attacks and, as of 2021, are awaiting execution. The bombings inadvertently led to a dramatic decrease in new religious movement membership and by 2009, the number of groups identified as cults had dropped from nearly 2,000 to 302. Their numbers further declined into the 2020s, with only 112 groups identified as of December 2021. Yarkiye would go on to be designated as a terrorist organization, which allowed for almost unchecked law enforcement action against the group. |

Volkia entered the [[Dverian War]] on May 11, 2014 in support of Tano after the activation of the countries' bilateral defense agreements, and opened its borders to accept a large number of Tano refugees. President [[Zakhar Kreskov|Kreskov]] ordered Volkian troops into Tano on May 12, 2014 and Volkian generals drew up invasion plans of Dveria proper. Volkian troops engaged Dverian troops for the first time on May 13, 2014 in eastern Tano; while a minor skirmish, it resulted in the [[Lavr Okladnikov|first Volkian soldier to be killed in combat]] since 1953.

Tensions between Blaskog and Volkia rose to their highest level in over 50 years when Blaskogian ships entered Volkian territorial waters on May 14, 2014, near [[Shimanovsk Oblast]], which nearly escalated into a shooting war between the two countries. Blaskog withdrew their naval forces after Volkian Navy vessels, originally en route to assist Tano in the Dverian War, returned to confront the Blaskogian ships. While it was revealed the intrusion of Volkian waters was accidental, tensions between the two countries remain high. |
