The Ukrainian government has adopted a new ban. It concerns the use of the letters “Z” and “V” on license plates. However, there are exceptions related to the ban on ordering and producing individual license plates containing this symbolism. This also applies to electric vehicles.
“We’re not talking about state license plates for electric vehicles,” RIA Novosti cites information referring to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
It is indicated that it is forbidden to use these characters in a separate spelling, as well as in words written in Cyrillic, instead of “З”, “С”, “В”, “Ф”.
At the same time, the ban applies to images, inscriptions, symbols of communism and the National Socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regime. Added that the vehicle owner will have to come up with a new character combination if the license plate has already been issued and is currently in conflict with these new rules.
In June last year, a council was established in Ukraine on the issues of “de-Russification and decommunization”. The Ministry of Culture of Ukraine then declared that “de-Russification, decommunization and decolonization are timely processes in the history of modern Ukraine”.
Later it was reported that Ukrainian polar explorers had decommunized the signs in Antarctica. Members of the Ukrainian expedition, Doctor Matkovsky and Mechanic Belous, decommunicated Kirovograd into Kropyvnytskyi and de-Russified the transliteration of Vinnitsa and Odessa.
