Marking of military equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
Marking of military equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation involved in Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
Symbols V and Z were called swastikas in the media[1][2][3][4][5] and were banned by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine as symbols of the military invasion of Ukraine by the Russian neo-Nazi totalitarian regime.[6] Also banned in some countries.[7]
As a militarist symbol, the "Z" has been used in Russian propaganda, and by Russian civilians as a sign of support for the invasion.[source?] Outside Russia, the symbol has been banned from public display in several states.[8] The "Z" symbol has been called a zwastika in the media, derived from the word swastika.
- O (symbol): Russian Armed Forces at Izium are carrying that symbol; Media said that on April 25.[9]
