    Because it doesn’t matter if Russia admits it or not.

    If "unknown“ saboteurs are doing things aligned with Russian interests in areas of Russian interest it won’t take long until western intelligence determines that Russia is sending military and covert ops into a nato country‘s territory. That is a clear act of aggression.

    Simply denying that they are doing it isn’t worth shit behind the scenes.
