The passage below is an excerpt from leaflets dropped on Japanese cities after the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima:

[B]ecause of your leaders' refusal to accept the surrender declaration that would enable Japan to honorably end this useless war, we have employed our atomic bomb.

The Soviet Union, because of this rejection on the part of the military, has notified your Ambassador Sato that it has declared war on your nation. Thus, all powerful countries of the world are now at war with you.
