I believe there is some circumstancial evidence that this isn't sabotage. Why use something as powerful as this now. If anything it makes your opponent more aware and the timing actually limits the damage, compared to using it during an actual military confrontation.
I don’t even consider cyberattack a possibility since I assume all systems involved are completely airgapped. This was obviously something done from the inside.
Once again Russia attacks the west using asymmetric warfare and unfortunately the west has been unable to respond with appropriate measures to dissuade Russia from these types of attacks. Obviously this is the type of attack a state would use prior to engaging in kinetic force, and while I don’t believe that’s the intent this time, it should be treated as such.
There are no pleasant options for Europe if they want to stop Russian aggression and attacks on their sovereignty. I believe it’s time for Europe (and I would say the US but we all know that’s not going to happen) to take meaningful action to permanently stop Russias capability or willingness to continue waging war against them. To not do so is to capitulate to Russia and slowly but surely lose their sovereignty and way of life.
Very far from confirmed. I just finished reading [0,1] accounts of
atmospheric heat anomalies being touted as a cause - alongside
speculation about cyber-attacks. Something to remember about terrorist
groups and propaganda merchants, is that they'll claim
"responsibility" or otherwise misattribute acts immediately to gain
attention. Often the first thing reported is what sticks in the public
mind.
Did they hack it, or is it someone using Twitter to spread disinformation, claiming credit for the widespread disruption and implicitly "fear us, we have l33t h4cking skills!"...
And they provide zero proof...
Any shred of evidence?

This is far from confirmed.. and anyways the best way is to have a better cyber defense for critical infra..

Any evidence of Russia involvement? What would even be the point?
