I wouldn't write off it being a false flag by Russia, but it seems like the risk vs. reward trade off for such a thing wouldn't be great. Sneaking into NATO territory to destroy piece of infrastructure that wasn't being used and would benefit them more than anyone if it was allowed to be used doesn't seem to be practical. Not to mention that the ordinary person at the street level isn't going to be motivated or moved too much by it.
They would be better off targeting something on their own territory if they really wanted to rally people for the war.

Putin has a history of doing things everyone knows is him/Russia but has a sort of nod nod wink wink level of deniability, he does this to show the world/his opposition that he isnt a man to be screwed with, the whole point is we all know its Russia while Russia gets to say 'moi??' that is what this was, an attempt to prove he will burn everything to the ground if the west doesnt give in, frankly you are right its an absurd move but he is desperate at this stage
