There is no evidence that proves how the dam collapsed. Of course the Ukrainians claim Russia did it, and the Russians claim they didn't. Truth is that it could have been neither of them. It was built in 1956, which makes it 66 or 67 years old. What kind of maintenance has been done is not really known, that I have seen at any rate, so it may have developed a fatigue area that gave way. Seismic instruments recorded what appear to be two blasts. But I suspect if the dam collapsed on its own, the seismic reading would appear as being two blasts.

This publication is supposedly by Jewish reporters who claim to be of a conservative bent, but that doesn't mean it is correct at all.

I'm not supporting either side, but honestly assessing who gains from the destruction of this dam presents a different narrative. Ukraine benefits more than do the Russians by blowing up the dam, because it affects the south eastern Ukrainian population which is currently in Russian control. It may even be an element of the counter-offensive strategy to retake the Crimea.

Let's just say, I think the publication has been influenced into a conclusion, that is not based upon verified conclusive facts.
