I think Russia is doing random stuff of the kind, my understanding is it’s just about sawing general chaos, not doing a strong action that would be discussed at a diplomatic level.

Really though? this feels cartoonishly evil, like the kind of thing a children's cartoon villain would do. It doesn't have any meaningful impact
This feels exactly what Russia has been doing for a couple of years. Not saying they did it this time, I have no idea. But it would be very much in character.
It creates confusion, lowers trust in companies and government to control/keep the country working, just more shit flooding in the zone.
I’m not sure it’s them. But I just watched a video saying that the whole diesel thing is just a troll, it will neither solve the US nor Russia’s problem (the deal is way too small for both sides) but sow discord between the US and Europe for Putin and be a pre-election performance for Trump.

Russia's idea of hybrid warfare means doing things like dragging anchors across internet cables and paying people to firebomb warehouses and businesses.
