When NordStream exploded, everybody blamed Russia. A year later we learned that it was Ukraine.

Who is to say the same isn't going on now?

Maybe the answer isn‘t clear cut. The place is a warzone and the dam could be collateral damage. Both sides probably damaged the dam before it collapsed, unintentionally or not. Whether russia or ukraine dealt the last blow is still unknown. If it even was intentional we don‘t know. But of course both sides will point fingers with their respective propaganda. I refuse to believe anything unless there‘s proof.

In fairness, while both could have damaged it, if Russia weren’t there in the first place this wouldn’t have happened either so I’m fine with pointing fingers at them until proven otherwise in this case.

A bit premature, since nobody seems to know what exactly happened. They'd need to actually do an investigation and build a case, instead they just do a vote based on vibes.
