He's guilty.
At the very least, the Chinese company owes some folks a bunch of money.
If the Russians are partially culpable, a medium response should be some very hefty sanctions.
At the very worst, it's time for spy vs. spy, in a most serious way.

Interesting how the followed up on that.

Interesting that the ship is basically surrounded by navy vessels and cannot go anywhere, but they cannot board it because of international law. Kind of a standoff at the moment.

I'm pretty sure international law frowns on dragging anchor to cut cables too.

"Staggeringly reckless"
Britain's foreign spy chief accused Russia on Friday of waging a "staggeringly reckless campaign" of sabotage in Europe while also stepping up its nuclear sabre-rattling to scare other countries off from backing Ukraine.
Richard Moore, head of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service known as MI6, said that any softening in support for Ukraine against Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion would embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin and his allies.
In what appeared a message to incoming U.S. President Donald Trump's administration and some European allies that have questioned continued support for Ukraine in the grinding war, Moore argued that Europe and its transatlantic partners must hold firm in the face of what he said was growing aggression.
"We have recently uncovered a staggeringly reckless campaign of Russian sabotage in Europe, even as Putin and his acolytes resort to nuclear sabre-rattling to sow fear about the consequences of aiding Ukraine," he said in a speech in Paris.
"The cost of supporting Ukraine is well known but the cost of not doing so would be infinitely higher. If Putin succeeds China would weigh the implications, North Korea would be emboldened and Iran would become still more dangerous." -
I will refrain from comment on this incident and the near to certain probability of Russian involvement, until such time that the chief intelligence tsarina-in-waiting, the ever attractive, charming and notoriously clever, Tulsi Gabbard, weighs in with her studied and precise analysis.
