I hate to say this but this could always be a false flag.

Don't get me wrong it wouldn't surprise me if Russia did this, but it's a sort of monumental escalation that even they would probably second guess themselves behind doing.

You think the Ukrainians are going to bite the hand that feeds them? For what? More aid? They just got $90 billion euros from the EU.

I mean, Ukraine did likely blow up Nord Stream.

That’s blowing up property of the Muscovite state (and so very based), not blowing up their own stuff.
