Ukrainians who have fled war to Ireland have today campaigned for the banning of the public displaying of the ‘Z’ symbol of Russian war after seeing it used by pro-Russian supporters on vehicles in Dublin, APA reports citing Independent.ie.
Videos have circulated on social media of a convoy of vehicles with Russian flags being flown from them and the letter ‘Z’ displayed on their doors.
The letter ‘Z’, and sometimes the letter ‘V’ is being used by Russian forces in Ukraine to identify their tanks and other battle vehicles, and Ukrainians have said it has become the swastika of the Russian war.
Some countries such as Latvia have already banned its display.
