  • Ukraine's official Twitter account poked fun at the idea of a potential Russian invasion.
  • It posted a meme saying that living next to Russia causes a massive headache.
  • The joke comes amid a buildup of Russian troops and equipment along the shared border.  

Ukraine's official Twitter account poked fun at the idea of a potential Russian invasion by posting a meme on Tuesday.

The image joked that living next to Russia is a real headache:  

Russia's buildup of troops along the two countries' border in recent weeks has stoked fears of a potential invasion.

Satellite images show more Russian personnel and equipment along the country's western border shared with Ukraine — including troops, tanks, and artillery.

The buildup comes as both Ukraine and US intelligence have warned of a possible Russian invasion, a claim the Kremlin has denied.

State Department and Defense officials have said that Russia's activity is "unusual" and lacks transparency, Insider's Ryan Pickrell previously reported. 

President Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin are set to speak on Tuesday, where Biden is expected to threaten the Russian president with the toughest US economic sanctions yet if there's an invasion.  

Biden on Monday also spoke with the leaders of France, Germany, the UK, and Italy about a possible invasion and how to deter Russia from launching an attack.
