Most of them are "suspicions" and the others are just unilateral declarations by like, the UK police, which you can't exactly take at face value.

An investigation later revealed that "local radio enthusiasts" were responsible, and the headline of the article admitting so still made it seem like Russia was to blame.^[https://www.euronews.com/2023/08/31/is-russian-sabotage-behind-20-recent-train-accidents-in-poland]

and its military doctrine has long emphasized targeting enemy infrastructure.

On 8 May 2024, an IKEA store in Vilnius was set ablaze after closing hours.

And on and on and on and on and on

The only times there actually is evidence, if it targets aid to the Ukrainian nazi-led civil war in donbass.
