Yanukovych showed a Hollywood smile for the first time in years: social media reaction

The last thing we needed to see in the news was Viktor Yanukovych's smile. Nevertheless, the image of the fugitive ex-president became the reason for the creation of numerous memes. Ukrainians embraced this with open arms and let their imagination run wild, editing photos with Yanukovych's new smile.

In his statement, Yanukovych decided to blame Europe for Ukraine not joining the EU. According to the ex-president, he tried to facilitate this process, but European partners did not keep their promises and 'behaved incorrectly'.

Ultimately, Yanukovych's smile sparked a wave of memes, as reported by Ukrainian media. However, he also chose to blame the European Union for Ukraine's inability to join it, which raised doubts among many journalists and citizens.
