## Freedom of Russia Legion

images by Tomislav Todorovic

That's the Freedom of Russia Legion [flag inscription: "Svoboda Rossii", Freedom of Russia]. This group and the Russian Volunteer Corps (see above) both attack Russia from inside Ukraine.
I'm not sure how much protection that border gives, but however it is, they use it as their starting point to liberate Russia from the Kremlin. (photo, photo, source: Nozomi Kariyasu's Facebook page)

The source photos reported by Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg actually display the flag variant with a much larger emblem (about 7/9 of the flag width) and a more oblong overall form (ratio about 3:5).

William Garrison sent an image of a variant flag with the "Stop Putin Stop War" slogan. It's the Ukrainian national flag with this two-line slogan in inverted colours, added with a red (bloody) palm print in the lower half. The "Stop Putin Stop War" emblem exists in a plethora of different forms: flags, banners, placards, stickers, buttons, selfmade artwork etc. (see here)

HeroCar (ГеройCar), more formally "Car for Hero" is a project started in 2023 by the Ruslan Shostak Foundation, also known as Ruslan Shostak Charitable Fund, that aims to provide troops fighting the Russian invasion in off-road conditions with 1000 reliable and durable road transportation (Ford F250, F350 and SsangYong Actyon cars and pick-up trucks), for which a single national platform has been created for accepting applications, fixing air transport needs, collecting funds and servicing wartime transport.
Cars are bought at auctions in the USA and delivered to Ukraine via Europe. Here, cars undergo technical inspection: mandatory replacement of batteries, oil, and filters. Cars are repainted in camouflage colors. Spare parts are purchased for the possibility of replacing parts directly at their locations of origin.
This initiative is part of the "Guardians of the sky" (Вартові неба) initiative in order to support the air defense (source).

## North Korea-Russia "Z" friendship flag

image located by William Garrison
(source)

Caption: "This flag combines the visual elements of the Russian Federation and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), symbolizing camaraderie and mutual solidarity. The red field featuring North Korea's white-bordered red star is paired with bold white, blue, and diagonal orange-and-black bands reminiscent of the St. George ribbon. These black and orange stripes form a 'Z'-like pattern; the 'Z' has gained prominence as a symbol of Russia's military operations and nationalistic sentiment, often interpreted as 'За победу' (for victory) or 'Запад' (West)."
At the left there appears to be a white flagpole sleeve.
