Well, with Skybird they always seemed more anti-Ukrainian theories to me. He seemed to have a pretty strong bias against the current regime in Kiev.

But, as CCIP notes the Russian military don't make any conclusions about who launched it. But, hopefully it will put to rest rumours of Ukrainian SU-25s operating at near orbital altitudes. The SU-25 narrative was a fractured and contradictory mess that featured mystery witnesses, dubious theories, dodgy experts, and fake evidence, not mention the plane's ordinance being used in such a way that it always resembled a strike by a Buk missile rather than an attack by a SU-25. It would be good to see it finally set aside.
