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.

A French security official, who asked for anonymity as he does not have permission to speak on the record, said that the exchange outraged Macron, who is usually wary of directly confronting Russia. The source describes past conversations as "unsatisfactory but just plausible enough to make it more difficult to confront him."

"He's furious," said the French official. "He will make his own decisions on how to handle this but the consequences he is threatening could become much stronger support for [Angela] Merkel taking action on Nord Stream if that's how the German's decide to proceed."The source referred to Nord Stream 2, an undersea gas pipeline which aims to link Russia with Germany. Political tensions between Russia and the West have repeatedly threatened to derail it.
