I think it's usually Ukrainian media making those spurious claims, like about that Russian prison that got hit or, idk, I think there was a pipeline or something that was blown up they instantly blamed on Russia
I think that was western media, when that one Russian pipeline blew up and they were all saying it was Russia who blew it up, like lmao why would they blow up their own infrastructure that was actively generating them revenue? It was very clearly blown up by either Ukraine or NATO to force the EU to use less Russian gas or whatever.
Sorry, I was being facetious there. Yes, it was the Nord Stream pipeline that Russia used to sell gas to Europe, which was 4 lines, of which 3 were destroyed. My joke was that the pipeline was all over the news (along with those accusations) for a good while, unlike the prison bombing which was basically a one-cycle story.
