Original Note:
The Z-swastika graffiti defaces Russian tanks, intending to denigrate Russian invaders as fascists. These are swastikas constructed from the militarist symbol “Z” (the “zwastika”) used by Russia, associated with Russian fascism, and banned in several countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(military_symbol)#Use_as_pro-war_symbolism https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60644832 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/07/world/europe/russia-letter-z-ivan-kuliak.html https://parlament.ua/news/rosijska-vijskova-tehnika-mae-naczistski-znaki-reznikov/
