Putin has been trying to pull a false-flag operation of one kind or another for a long time.  At first, it was an attempt to convince the world that "Ukraine attacked first". The US did something it hardly ever does, it found out via intel, and released that to the public (probably one of the smarter things the CIA has done over the last 20 years or so).  Then, as his invasion of Ukraine dragged on, and it was apparent he wasn't going to just steamroll over the entire country, he started to claiming Ukraine was planning on setting off a "dirty bomb", which seems like a pretty transparent attempt to place blame for a nuclear false-flag operation, so that Putin had reason to just nuke the hell out of Ukraine to get the conflict over with.

Sabotaging a pipeline that delivered gas to the EU, who has sanctioned the fuck out of Russia, and is actively supporting Ukraine with both funds and hardware, then attempting to blame it on one of those opposing nations is par for the course for Putin.
