So the Ukrainian government is not involved in a complex operation like this ^_^
Highly unlikely. More likely is Zelensky telling his guys "you organize this, I know nothing". Does this mean Ukraine gets a free pass? Blowing up critical infrastructure is a serious crime don't you think?
Your video says the investigation leads to Ukraine but not to Ukraine's governement.
==> Russia was too much infiltrated in Ukraine to reject its responsability.
The moment it happened is very disturbing: Just after Khariv region being re-taken by ukrainians, 1 week before russia's partial mobilization, just before russians retreat frop Kherson.
==> I don't see any advantage for Ukraine to blow up the pipelines at this time. Seems counter productive.
/e wtf i lose time with it

Imho, it was very unlikely at the time. There already was no way back, politically speaking. Taking such a huge risk for such little strategic gain (both from Ukraine's pov) is just irrational. Therefore, the emerging explanation that this attack was carried out by rogue Ukrainian hardliners who didn't coordinate with their government seems logical.
It's also possible that Ukrainians were waiting for more tanks or something like that when it happened. So it could be even more than just "counter productive": destructive.
