Trostyanets was recaptured by the Ukrainian army after the town was under the control of Russian forces for over a month following the invasion on 24 February. The local residents claim that Russian soldiers were not letting bury the dead people, forcing many to leave their homes to move into those houses, and were looting in the town. Locals were saying that some of the town's residents were killed by Russian soldiers. When the Russian army was withdrawing from Trostyanets they stole many cars from local people, as well as different electronic devices. EPA/ROMAN PILIPEY

U Njemačkoj se pokreće sve više istraga protiv osoba koje koriste simbol Z da izraze svoju podršku ruskom ratu u Ukrajini.

Prema izvješću medijske grupacije Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland, više od 140 istraga je pokrenuto od 24. veljače zbog zagovaranja ruskog rata u Ukrajini. Većina tih istraga uključuje korištenje simbola Z.

Bijelo “Z” često se može vidjeti na ruskim tenkovima i uniformama. Ono označava slogan “za pobjedu”. Često ga se može vidjeti na zgradama, automobilima i na odjeći izvan ratne zone te se koristi na društvenim medijima.

Korištenje simbola može se smatrati “podržavanjem kaznenog djela” ako se može dokazati povezanost s ratom u Ukrajini, prema ministarstvu unutarnjih poslova savezne pokrajine Sjeverne Rajne-Vestfalije.

Prema članku 140. Kaznenog zakona, osobe koje koriste simbol mogu biti kažnjene s do tri godine zatvora ili novčanom kaznom.
