[Russia]
The Russian Empire would like to note that it does not recognise the Confederate States of America as a legitimate nation, and awaits the reconstitution of the rebels into the United States of America.
The Empire also wishes to clarify to the Emperor Kōmei of Japan, as per our prior diplomatic contact, Russia has already committed itself to mutually profitable and beneficial relationship with the Shogunate.
Aleksandr II Nikolaevich,
Tsar of all the Russias
