OREANDA-NEWS  The Lithuanian customs refused to allow a tank from Belarus to enter the republic, on the side of which the Latin letter Z was applied. This is reported on the department's Facebook page (a social network banned in the Russian Federation; owned by Meta, which is recognized as an extremist organization and banned).

It is noted that the train with a tank was detained at the Kyan station. During its inspection, Lithuanian customs officers found that graffiti in the form of the letter Z was applied to the fertilizer tank, the shipper of which was a Russian company.

The ministry clarified that after that the tank was unhooked from the train and returned to the station in the Belarusian city of Molodechno.

At the end of September, an American Zumwalt-type destroyer with the letter Z depicted on board arrived at the Yokosuka base near Tokyo. Later, the command of the US Navy in Japan explained that the destroyer has the nickname "zoom-san" and looks "charming with a large letter Z on the stern."
