The cyrillic capitol letter 'zeta' represents the word for GOD in the symbolic culture of the bible. Therefore, the Russian army has been blessed by their national church's Patriarch before going into this operation.
Kiril alfabesinde "Z" harfi bulunmuyor. Fakat birçok Rus, Z'ye derin anlamlar yüklüyor. İlk defa Rus tankları üzerinde görülen “Z” harfi, bugünlerde Ukrayna işgalini destekleyen aşırı sağcı grupların sembolü haline geldi. Birçok Rus, Z harfini sahipleniyor ve kıyafetlerinde taşıyor.

The letters. Z in Hebrew is Zayin and it means ‘sword’ or ‘a weapon of the spirit" and in the concept of Kabbalah it could be seeing as a lightning bolt. In spiritual terms it represents the end of the road or particular course of action, which makes perfect sense when we talk about a war. In the case of Russian invasion of Ukrain , the Z symbol has stood as a pro-war emblem.
a lettera Z è stata utilizzata durante l'addestramento delle truppe russe in Bielorussia. Per designare divisioni. Ora questa lettera è diventata un'abbreviazione
On Instagram, the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) posted on 3 March that the "Z" symbol is an abbreviation of the phrase "for victory" (Russian: за победу, romanized: za pobedu), while the "V" symbol stands for "Our strength is in truth" (Russian: сила в правде, romanized: sila v pravde)
what Z is meant i do not know exactly. what i know is that because of spraying these Z on all the tanks and vehicles is maybe the reason why they want to forbid the letter Z in Germany and Austria! it is a brave new world...welcome!

The MoD later suggested alternative meanings for "Z", including "For peace" (Russian: за мир, romanized: za mir), "For truth" (Russian: за правду, romanized: za pravdu), and the letter Z inside the English words demilitarization and denazification, which Russian President Vladimir Putin has asserted to be the purpose of the invasion.
Another interpretation for "Z" is the Russian word for west (Russian: запад, romanized: zapad), to designate the Western Military District or west-bound infantry, or more generally to underline the Kremlin's imperial ambitions, with the "V" symbol similarly standing for the word for east (Russian: восток, romanized: vostok). This term was used in the joint 2021 Zapad exercise between Belarus and Russia before the invasion.
Z - "Eastern Forces" t.b. from the Russian Federation
Z (square) - "forces from the Crimea"
O - "forces from Belarus"
V - "seafarers"
X - "Chechens"
A - "Special forces"
Some speculate that the "Z" could stand for "zapad," which means west in Russian. Some have snidely suggested that the symbol stands for other words such as "zhopa," meaning ass in a reference to stiff Ukrainian resistance. The letter does not appear in the Cyrillic alphabet used by both Russia and Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the Russian intervention in Ukraine, the letter Z has appeared first on tanks and then on posters, cars and even the torso of a sportsman. This symbol of support for the Russian army symbolizes the pro-war propaganda of the Kremlin. Even if its meaning is debatable.
The most common theory used by military experts to explain the messages behind these symbols is that they were written according to the regions in which Russian forces were stationed, with the meaning of "Z" possibly being an abbreviation of "Zapad" which means "west" in Russian.

It a pro-war symbol of President Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Z" is a powerful and easily recognisable symbol.
Initially, it was thought that the "Z" was in fact a number "2" - representing the 22 February (22/02/2022). That was the day Russia ratified an agreement on "friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance" with the self-proclaimed breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine - Donetsk and Luhansk.
But it is now believed the symbol is simply a way for Russia's military to identify its own forces...

Prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the letter "Z" was seen painted on tanks as well as other military vehicles massing near the border. With both countries using similar tanks and trucks, it was originally thought this was meant to distinguish different units to prevent friendly fire and assist with mobilization.
Some speculate that the "Z" could stand for "zapad," which means west in Russian. Some have snidely suggested that the symbol stands for other words such as "zhopa," meaning ass in a reference to stiff Ukrainian resistance. The letter does not appear in the Cyrillic alphabet used by both Russia and Ukraine.

The Instagram account of the Russian Ministry of Defense has featured both "Z" and "'V" symbols with messages of "to victory" and "we finish wars." Another message states "we are responsible for the world/peace." The black-and-orange ribbons that make up the "Z" are St. George's ribbons, which are symbols of remembrance of Russians who died during World War II similar to the U.K.'s usage of the poppy for the fallen during World War I.
