Understand why the letter 'Z' is being deleted

News agency Ukrinform has claimed that Russia's removal of the emblem and raising of enemy flags may be a way to avoid being recognized by Zaporizhia citizens. It could also be a trickery attempt by Ukrainian soldiers and volunteer forces to stop the investigation. On the other hand, talking to media reports, the Russians have intensified their campaign in the Eastern ukraine region.

What is the meaning of the 'Z' symbol for the Russian army?

'Z' has been written on Russian armed vehicles since the start of the attack. Such vehicles have been seen moving around in Kyiv and other cities. The 'Z' symbol on Russian military vehicles is speculated to have two meanings. The first possible meaning is 'Za pobedu' which is said to mean victory and the second word is said to be 'Zapad' meaning 'West'.

The "Z" is also believed to be a mechanism for the Russian military to prevent such incidents from identifying its neighbors, the forces. Some media sites also claim that "Z" is one of the symbols given by Russian President Vladimir Putin to attack Ukraine.

According to reports, the "Z" symbol was first seen on Russian combat vehicles as soon as they entered the Donetsk region on february 22. However, according to some other reports, this symbol first appeared on combat vehicles in Crimea in 2014 after russia annexed the peninsula.
