Ukraine also had a rational motive, but has significantly less underwater capability than the US/UK. That said, they're very resourceful, good at finding new ways to apply modern technology. I think it may have been any or a combination of the three. America is obviously the prime suspect, due to Biden's public albeit deniable vague threat.

Ukrainians may have been involved, but the US would have been the necessary component, and the UK additionally would have been sufficient.

Yes, certainly if it was done with a conventional submarine. But it's not impossible that Ukraine found a way to do it independently with a UUV/etc.

Could be submarine but why not divers?

[MichaelCollins]

Certainly a possibility. One advantage of using a submarine is you're less likely to be caught red handed, but that doesn't prove it was done with a submarine.

Motive overwhelmingly points to Ukraine, it’s just a question of capacity to dive to 200 feet?
