the campaign takes as its motives the distinctive marks “Z” and “V” that Russia displayed in White on sides and nose of tanks and armored vehicles vehicles who invaded Ukraine on February 24.
The letters – along with a long diagonal stripe – were supposed to be markers for The Russian army to identify its various force contingents, although this has not been confirmed.
Two weeks after the invasionthe Russian Ministry of Defense promotes symbols and on Wednesday released a promotional video titled “Z Heroes”, using the “V” and the “Z” to spell out the words for bravery, heroism and force in truth.
Tee-shirts with a “Z” logo are for to sell in online shops and on state television channel RT website. A “Z” sign was seen on the front of a pram in the Far East Love regionlocale media noted. Coal mining region of Kuzbass now spells son name with a Latin Z instead of Russian character.
