Russia's attack on Ukraine continues. Russia has been trying to control Ukraine for the past 12 days. The Russian army has so far occupied some areas near the Russia-Ukraine border. There is a lot of talk of the Z sign during the ongoing war. Ukrainians are seeing this sign as a sign of Russian aggression and Nazi sign.
How did the Z sign become a sign of Russian aggression?
Russian gymnast Ivan Kuliyak is facing disciplinary proceedings by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) for displaying the letter Z on a podium next to a Ukrainian opponent in Qatar. In Russia, the Z sign is being seen as a symbol of staunch support for President Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Russian supporters are using it on hoardings, from social media sites to cars.
But what does the Z sign mean?
Many theories are being given regarding this. The Z sign was first seen on social media when Russian tanks were moving towards Ukraine with Z written on them. It was initially thought that Z was a symbol of the number 2. It marks the day that Russia ratified an agreement on friendship, cooperation, and mutual assistance with Donetsk and Luhansk. This date was 22/02/2022. But it is now believed to be a way for the Russian military to identify itself.
Russian state broadcaster Russia Today has been selling T-shirts with the letter Z since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. The word 'for' is spelled 'ja' in Russian and the Defense Ministry posted on Instagram 'for peace', 'for our people, 'for victory' all using the English letter Z. have done.
It is also reported that the letter Z allegedly symbolically represents 'victory' in it. Although there is no such letter in the Russian alphabet, it is being seen as a symbol of victory in the Ukraine war.
What are the Russian people saying?
Russian nationalist activist Anton Demidov has said about the matter that I do not know where this symbol came from. But Kremlin supporters saw it on Russian tanks in Ukraine and then started using it. Ivan ZhernaCov, an official in the northern region of Arkhangelsk who runs the Department of Patriotic Education, said it was a symbol of the unity of the people. Ivan explained that it symbolizes the support of our armed forces, the support of the President's decisions, and is designed to unite us in this difficult situation.
How is the Z sign viewed in Ukraine?
Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov compared the Z sign to a swastika-like sign from Nazi Germany. He said in a tweet that in 1943 Sachsenhausen near Konkamp was a station Z where mass murders were committed.
