Ohhh those Russians.
I cannot believe Putin would lie like this! The outrage!
The story was suspect from the beginning. The old Soviet method, similar to Canadian policing "false flags, misrepresentation and outright creepy lies".

A CIA assessment has concluded that Ukraine did not try to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin at his country residence as alleged by the Kremlin, a source with knowledge of the matter told NBC News.
Ukraine had been aiming to hit a military target in the same region as the Russian president’s country residence, the source said.
The director of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, briefed President Donald Trump on the issue earlier Wednesday. Afterward, Trump posted a link to a New York Post editorial with the headline “Putin ‘attack’ bluster shows Russia is the one standing in the way of peace.”
The Wall Street Journal first reported on the assessment and the presidential briefing.
The CIA declined to comment.
Earlier this week, Trump told reporters that he was “very angry” after Putin claimed in a phone conversation that Ukrainian drones had attacked his residence on the shore of Lake Valdai in the northern Russian region of Novgorod. Russia has not provided any public evidence for its claims.
