The Battle of Ro-Petrograd was a battle that has been raging from March 2 to March 21, 2025, between the forces loyal to Vladimir Ana and the Red Hand terrorists. The battle began after the Tovokian troops reached the Ro-Baltic Sea as a result of the offensive and occupied several key locations, gaining the ability to attack the city. Despite the initial dominance of the Whites, they were eventually forced to retreat after failing to anticipate a possible attack on Bloxuga, which left their forces at high risk of being surrounded.
