In particular, we are talking about Berlin, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. In early April, the Rada adopted a bill that prohibits the use of the symbols V and Z in the country, and the Russian Federation is recognized as a «terrorist country.» The head of the international committee of the State Duma, Leonid Slutsky, commenting on the bill adopted by the Rada, suggested that Ukrainians ban the Latin alphabet completely. Latin letters Z and V applied on board Russian military equipment participating in the military operation in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. In Russia, the letter «Z» has already become an unofficial symbol of support for the operation. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine», to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for «bloody crimes against civilians» in Donbass. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Armed Forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops. With the support of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the DPR and LPR groups are developing an offensive. But the occupation of Ukraine is out of the question, the Russian President emphasized.
