It doesn't seem to have necessarily been confirmed, Ukraine may have plotted it but whether or not they actually carried it out? Can't really condemn based on intention alone. It just seems to indicate that spec ops were potentially planning it.
It could be something as simple as, Ukraine floated the idea around with the U.S government beforehand, the U.S offered to make it happen so that the evidence wouldn't lead back to Ukraine. This is a very common way the U.S does things, always through third parties to avoid culpability. That seems more likely to me than Ukraine directly targeting places like that, though they have been raiding and attempting sabotages in Russia as of late.
The way it read to me, Ukraine didn't even tell the US about it. Either way, it pretty much discredits the idea that Russia blew up their own pipeline.
I'm impressed, I had assumed it was either the US one of its Nordic allies, and didn't think Ukraine had the capability to pull it off.

Anyone who believed that obvious bullshit is already beyond help. Just asking Que Bueno was enough to discredit the "Russia did it!" Narrative™.
