A search is presented for a heavy vector resonance decaying into a
$${\mathrm{Z}}_{\mathrm{}}^{\mathrm{}}$$
Z
boson and the standard model Higgs boson, where the
$${\mathrm{Z}}_{\mathrm{}}^{\mathrm{}}$$
Z
boson is identified through its leptonic decays to electrons, muons, or neutrinos, and the Higgs boson is identified through its hadronic decays. The search is performed in a Lorentz-boosted regime and is based on data collected from 2016 to 2018 at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137
