The first meeting between Emmanuel Macron, the newly elected president of France, and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, was bound to be a little awkward, given that Macrons aides had all but publicly blamed Russia for a massive cyber attack on his campaign on the eve of the election.Asked about those suspicions on Monday, at a joint news conference with the Russian president in Versailles, Macron said that the subject had not come up during their working lunch because he had already raised it when Putin called to congratulate him on his victory. When I say things once, I dont usually repeat myself, Macron added.Moments later, however, the French president left little doubt that he was convinced that the Russian government had tried to prevent his election, by spreading false rumors about him through two state-owned news networks, Russia Today and Sputnik.
