Apparently, all the criticism Russia is getting for invading Ukraine is causing a lot of hurt feelings at the Kremlin.

On Monday, the Russian government released a list of countries it deemed “unfriendly.”

The Kremlin has approved a list of countries who have been “unfriendly” to Russia. They include:

Australia, UK, EU countries, Iceland, Canada, Liechtenstein, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Korea, San Marino, Singapore, USA, Taiwan, Ukraine, Montenegro, Switzerland, Japan https://t.co/YQi2SPyYJb

Not surprisingly, the United States and Ukraine made the list, but many Twitter users were surprised that tiny nations like Liechtenstein, Montenegro and San Marino were included.

And they had thoughts.

So, everyone except China and North Korea basically. And we thought Trump was insecure. https://t.co/f56MWAZoUf

The Kremlin has identified San Marino as being unfriendly to Russia, but apparently not a country like Sweden that is providing weapons to destroy Russian tanks. Really makes you wonder about Russian intelligence. https://t.co/Coi7GflZDj pic.twitter.com/fLIjjXI4c8

It would’ve been easier to publish a list of countries who have been “friendly” to Russia, but what do I know? 🤷🏼♂️ https://t.co/Db8ajwgavW

A few Twitter users thought the list reminded them of a movie, but not a “Cold War” classic like “Rocky IV” or “Red Dawn.”

Specifically “Mean Girls.”

This is like a nemesis list only it makes me think of mean girls instead https://t.co/zpHbPuVRHv

Others felt Russia was acting more like Kanye West.

Liechtenstein and San Marino on this list makes it feel a bit like when Kanye said he had beef with Peppa Pig. https://t.co/LyOT8TV0Qj

A few people wondered why San Marino made the list, but they had theories.

Really wondered who in San Marino spilled their venti iced quad oat milk latte on Putin, then found out it's a whole ass country LMAO https://t.co/wQ1hbYU4YT

Some jokingly took Russia’s side.

Typical shit stirring Liechtenstein. https://t.co/qp7u6960Gy

Others had questions.

Who has the list of countries Russia has been 'unfriendly' to? https://t.co/STR1gbH5VV

The Ukraine is on this list and is under attack? Does that mean someone else is next? If they choose the USA the list will go away. https://t.co/TF5Bh9hy1W

But some people noted the list could hurt Russia’s relationship with China since it referred to Taiwan as a country, which goes against China’s insistence that Taiwan is its territory.

Hey China, your best friend just called Taiwan a country. https://t.co/eLKpmpcmEe

They listed Ukraine...??

And if Russia is such good buddies with China, listing Taiwan as a country is also pretty awkward. https://t.co/BgXWZLi05B

In which Russia inadvertently recognizes Taiwan as a country. That will annoy China... https://t.co/30TW3iiYJt
