Banned Letters Z and V




Yesterday, I had mentioned about the letter Z finding itself in trouble in Europe. 

Today, I came across a news report that Latvia's parliament have adopted a new law that bans the display of the letters "Z" and "V" in public, under the pretense that these symbols, which are being used by Russian troops in Ukraine, stand for glorifying "military aggression and war crimes".

Anyone found guilty under the new law will be fined up to €350, while companies can be fined up to €2,900. 

The vote on the new law was introduced as an "urgent procedure"! 

And then there was another report that Kiev had asked Slovenia's embassy on Thursday to take down its flag (left) because it was too similar to that of Russia! 

This is all becoming farcical and ludicrous!! But when you have a Ukraine President who is a real-life comic, what do you expect?!
