It is reported that the letter on the Ukrainian electric vehicle license plate has been used since September 2020, in which the letter Z means "zero emission".
Since Russia took special military action against Ukraine, foreign media have repeatedly paid attention to the mysterious letter "Z" appearing on Russian military equipment. On March 3, the Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement on social media, explaining that the letter "Z" appearing on Russian military vehicles represents "victory". According to RIA Novosti reported on April 1, the "people's public servant party" of Ukrainian President Zelensky said that Ukraine's supreme Rada (parliament) passed a bill to prohibit the use of the letter "Z" in Ukraine.
