The Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought out some interesting flags. Many
use the letter Z, which, in Russia, is mainly used in support of the war. From
my observations of flags being used in support of Russia, I see 2 main ones.

The first Z flag looks very much like the one used by the Green Party (Strana
zelených) in the Czech Republic, only there was a lighter, less drab shade
of green on that one:

The
said flag seems to have been abandoned with the start of the war in Ukraine.
