Germany could prosecute those who display pro-Russian "Z" symbol
German authorities may designate displaying the letter "Z" in support of Russia's war in Ukraine as a criminal offense liable for prosecution, an Interior Ministry spokesperson told reporters Monday, Reuters reported.
Why it matters: The symbol Z, indicating support for Russia's unprovoked invasion, has become ubiquitous within Russia and has been seen painted on Russian tanks in Ukraine, the Washington Post reported.
What they're saying: "The letter Z as such is of course not forbidden, but its use may in individual cases constitute an endorsement of the Russian war of aggression," the spokesperson said, per Reuters.
"The Russian war of aggression on the Ukraine is a criminal act, and whoever publicly approves of this war of aggression can also make himself liable to prosecution," he added at the press briefing, Reuters reported.
