But everyone has a motive.
Not everyone can tolerate blame.
USA is the logical actor. UA the second most logical.
USA can survive the blame. UA I’m not sure.
Hirsh’s article doesn’t survive scrutiny (at all). Though he claims more is forthcoming.
Hirsh has a reputation aside from his one victory for specious constructivist reporting in his tribe’s tradition.
UA is not ‘organized’ in that there are many independent groups engaged in this conflict. And the people who are accused of this are ??? apparently ??? connected to trying to kill Dugin, and getting his daughter.
This accusation of UA small team actors is the first ‘proposal’ (I won’t call it evidence) that makes sense.
If we see UA agree it was UA personnel, I expect that as in the last case they attribute it to independent actors.
For my part (given my background and experience) I CAN see USA facilitating independent group action by UA non-government non-military.
FWIW: UA-USA respect is there. UA-USA trust is not. That’s why we’re seeing careful deployment of mil-tech. USA doesn’t trust UA won’t go after Moscow.

I know that geostrategists, DOD, and intel are aware of the fact that war with mexico is on the long-term horizon for those and other reasons.
