IT’S tough for a big country like Russia to remember where its borders are.
Luckily, Canada’s NATO delegation is on hand to remind them, with a tweet that has delighted the internet and proved those nice Canadians have a sense of humour too.
The helpful map reminding Russia’s soldiers of where exactly their borders lie has been pinned to the top of Canada’s NATO delegation page.
It’s the official account listed on the Canadian government’s department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development and has been retweeted more than 7000 times.

It comes as Ukraine has directly appealed to NATO for help after a huge convoy of Russian tanks rolled through the country — the latest in a series of aggressive moves that suggest military intervention in the country.

This week, Moscow admitted Russian troops had crossed the border “by accident” but has denied they are arming pro-Russian rebels fighting the government in Kyiv.
Hopefully, this will stop them getting ‘lost’ in future.
