While I fully agree with your point, and I absolutely _despise_ what Russia is doing, it's pretty well agreed by this point that it was Ukraine that sabotaged Nord Stream.

There was a pretty detailed breakdown by a dutch newspaper that even identified the Ukrainian commandos that did it. And they even have an arrest warrant on the name of one of the suspects.

And let's be honest here, Ukraine benefits the most from that sabotage.

But from a realpolitik point of view, Russia must somehow be slapped for these sabotage acts.
