Le Monde: No convincing evidence of an "attack" on Putin's residence. The US wants to get to the bottom of the truth

So far, no convincing evidence has been found to prove that Russia's claim that "91 drones" attacked dictator Vladimir Putin's residence in Valdai is true. About reports french newspaper Le Monde, citing a source close to the French president Emmanuel Macron.

"There is no convincing evidence to support the serious accusations of the Russian authorities, even after checking the information with our partners," said the source.

According to him, the Russian authorities themselves contradict each other about what really happened

In general, the French president's entourage called Russia's ongoing and intensifying attacks an "act of defiance" against the US president's peacekeeping program Donald Trump.

UPDATE at 23:40. U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker also expressed doubts about the veracity of Russia's statement and said he wanted to see U.S. intelligence on the incident, said he is on the air of Fox Business TV channel.

"It is unclear whether this actually happened. We are going to get to the bottom of the intelligence. And for me, the most important thing is what the U.S. and our allies' intelligence agencies have to say about whether this attack really happened," he said.

Whitaker believes it is tactless to be "so close" to a peace agreement and to commit an act that could be seen as reckless or futile.
