Ukraine Slams 'Toxic Ex' Russia For Reminiscing About 'Good Ol' Days' Of Soviet Rule

Ukraine has described Russia as a “toxic ex" after the nation's official Twitter account shared images of the “good ol' days" of the Soviet Union.

“Many #Ukrainians still remember the good ol' days, when #Soviet Ukraine was the #USSR's breadbasket, as well as a popular health #tourism destination & industrial center," Russia tweeted, sharing photos from the time.


“A lot of that, and much more, is available in #Russia's #Crimea today."

In response, Ukraine highlighted the post by posting: “toxic ex here."

Twitter certainly appreciated Ukraine's jab.






Ukraine achieved independence from the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) in 1991 when the state was dissolved.

It had been part of the bloc since the 1920s after Soviet Russian forces overran the country and millions of Ukrainians died of starvation under the control of Joseph Stalin – a crime for which the leader was posthumously found guilty of genocide.

Since 2014, Russia has been in conflict with its neighbor after the superpower invaded and annexed Ukraine's Crimea region.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.
