New Delhi: The Russian invasion of Ukraine has entered its 13th day on Wednesday (March 9, 2022) and the number of refugees created by the biggest assault on a European country since World War II has now surpassed 2 million.
The fighting broke out on February 24 with Russian President Vladimir Putin saying that Moscow launched a 'special operation' to destroy its neighbour`s military capabilities and remove what it regards as dangerous nationalists in Kyiv.
While Ukraine and its allies call Russia's actions a brutal invasion that has killed hundreds of civilians, Moscow refutes such allegations.
Meanwhile, visuals of Russian military vehicles with the letter 'Z' on them and protesters carrying placards with the letter 'Z' are being widely shared on social media.
The Russian forces are said to be using the letter 'Z' as an identifying symbol on their vehicles.
