The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, put it on French President Emmanuel Macron's ignorance of geography, since he ranked India and Brazil as medium-sized countries.
The diplomat drew attention to the words of the French leader, who called on "medium-sized states to cooperate and enter into confrontation with the hegemony of the United States and China."
"He ranked India, Canada, Australia, Brazil among the "medium-sized states". Here I am inattentive — I missed the news about when geography was canceled in France," the representative of the Russian diplomatic department wrote in her Telegram channel.
