Putin's attempt to explain away the poisoning of Alexei Navalny to France failed badly and helped un
Vladimir Putin last week called France's Emmanuel Macron in the hope of explaining the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, French media reported.
According to Insider sources briefed on the call, it was a disaster.
Putin is said to have claimed to Macron that Navalny may have poisoned himself to make Russia look bad.
Macron is said to have considered the claim insultingly implausible; so much so that it could materially harm European-Russian relations.
Two sources told Insider that Macron is now far more willing to imperil the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project linking Russia with Europe.
An attempt by Vladimir Putin to explain how Alexei Navalny was poisoned in Russia in a call with France went down so badly that it seriously set back his relations with Europe, intelligence sources have told Insider.

Lots of fun sanctions and anything else that can be done to isolate Putin and make Russia suffer. It’s going to be fun to watch.
