The 12th ZZ division "Wołyń" Stationed in galicia crossed the Dacia border and took over the northern part of Chernivtsi to set up a new refugee camp there because the Żabie refugee camp had become overpopulated. Hours later local border guards and divisions of the Polish armed forces deployed in the West Galician Voivodeship had crossed into the northern part of Carpatho-Ruthenia. The Soviet Union had entered Chemerivtsi ,Dunaivtsi and Mohyliv-Podil's'kyi both being border towns with slavic majorities, The Soviet Ministry of Defense stated they are going to retake the rest of the Khmelnytskyi Oblast and Vinnytsia Oblast which Romania took from the collapsing Ukraine in the late 2020s.
After the Byzantine declaration of war, Lebanon followed suit with its own attacks despite being highly unpopular. The Army had been preparing for this years ahead, and were capable of functioning multiple months even if supplies were completely cut off based on the large network of informants and supporters on the ground that had been gathered by the Romanian Government-in-Exile. Lebanese-Romanian troops landed first in the port city of Constanța on the Black Sea, quickly securing the perimeter before entering the Bugeac, capturing Cetatea Albă with great enthusiasm from the local Romanian and Bulgarian minorities as well as the Ukrainian majority. The 3rd and 5th Lebanese Marine Divisions used the bases in Constanța for an amphibious assault combining air, navy and land troops, as well as movements on the grounds and local partisan uprisings. The Bulgarian and Ukrainian populations were especially useful in the battle as they provided information and supplies. The city was semi-encircled, with a few Dacian fighters managing to retreat before the city was fully encircled then subsequently taken. Many defectors and locals joined the Romanian Exiled Forces, creating 2 Ukrainian-speaking battalions, 1 Bulgarian and 1 Romanian to be spread across the two divisions. With that the troops took positions near the Nistru River, asserting their claims to the land before the Soviets could have any chance at irredentism in Basarabia.
Meanwhile a general advance was made on the other side of the country, with the 1st and 2nd Marine divisions linking up with the Byzantines in the capital of București and preparing an eventual assault on the town of Ploiești.
