Heracleum sosnowskyi in Ukraine. Fucking commies decided to start seeding it en-masse for cow feed without even checking whether it would work.

It bitters the milk, making it unusable as feed. It is poisonous and hybridizes with native edible species. Skin contact results in horrible blisters that tend to not heal cleanly. Its juice is toxic and mutagenic.

A war crime in plant wrapping.

Sheesh.

The japanese knotweed is at least edible, and from what I understand quite good.

Борщевик! That thing is a menace across pretty much all the post-Soviet countries. Vavilov and whoever listened to him were stupid as fuck.
