Fro a quick glance this article is almost entirely from anonymous sources, one of the few exceptions seems to be… a Russian news agency, so I’m gonna go ahead and take this with a grain of salt.
yes, seems a lot of reporting is just allergic to evidence or naming sources
A country facing destruction is justified harming its attacker. Full stop
If this is true, it wasn’t an attack on Russia, it was an attack on European infrastructure inside the Economic Exclusive Area of two European countries, that saw their waters contaminated with methane because of it. The pipelines weren’t being used, and probably they weren’t going to be used again for… well, ever, so it wasn’t even a source of income for Russia.
If these accusations are true, the attack only benefits Russia and everyone involved should be tried not only for the attack but for treason. In the case of Chervinsky I guess it’s more of adding it to his tab, since his hobby was apparently harming Ukraine by cosplaying as an Ukrainian James Bond.
