Ukrop (Russian: укроп, pronounced [ʊˈkrop]; literally "dill") is a Russian-language deriding term for Ukrainians. The term is a reference to the dill plant and bears a superficial syntactical similarity with the first half of the Russian word for Ukrainians.[1][2]
It was reclaimed as an ironic nickname by Ukrainian soldiers in 2014 during the war in Donbas, and a shoulder patch was designed by Andriy Yermolenko.[3] The ironic use lost popularity after it was adopted as the name of the Ukrainian political party UKROP.[citation needed]
