My feeling is false flag by the Russians. They clearly had the alleged perps already under close surveillance otherwise how did they find them so quickly? And if already keeping tabs on them why would they let them go ahead with their plan?
Could even be that they arrested them prior to the attack and got them to detail exactly what was supposed to happen. Thus whoever is really behind it thinks it was a success.
The building was from 2009 so could be it was expendable so they evacuated everyone and blew it up.
Now for US/EU under pressure to send even more money and weapons there is a face-saving off-ramp that "Ukraine went too far. How can we fund these monsters." And Russians themselves can bolster support from their own people.
