The Russian Foreign Ministry reacted to the words of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo about Washington’s tough course on Moscow painting depicting Napoleon’s retreat in 1812. The Russian Foreign Ministry posted the corresponding post in its Twitter -account.
“Keep it up, tough guys,” says the publication, which is accompanied by a picture of the painting by German artist Adolph Norten “Napoleon’s Retreat from Moscow.”
