According to a Kiev military source, quoted by the Sun, the letter “Z” may indicate that final preparations have been completed.

“It’s vital that any attacking force can be seen, especially from the air, where Russian forces are in complete control. “Ukrainians have similar tanks and vehicles to reduce the risk of friendly fire,” the source said.

He added that it was now “widely understood” that Vladimir Putin had already decided to launch a bloody and disastrous invasion.

The same article emphasizes that the “marking” of tanks, as well as vehicles, reflects the tactics of the United Kingdom and the United States in the First Gulf War, when the Allied invading forces sent to liberate Kuwait marked their mark. an overturned gallon.

The Sun points out that the military equipment marked “G” is located between 6 and 25 miles from the border, as a fighting force of more than 200,000 troops surrounded Ukraine in the north, south and east.

Another theory, allegedly derived from “mercenaries” of the Wagner group – a Russian paramilitary organization whose members have been involved in numerous conflicts – suggests that the “Z” means Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, Russia’s main enemy. .

According to an article in the International Business Times, another theory states that the “G” represents the “point of no return”.

It is noted, however, that the letter “G” does not exist in the Cyrillic alphabet of Russia.
