I don't believe that the rationale behind these events needs to be overly complicated to make sense. UK blew up Nord Stream pipes and Russia retaliated by cutting UK undersea internet cables. Warfare today is mostly tit-for-tat, because neither side dares to escalate a conflict into a full blown-out world war, therefore its a game of "getting even".
P.S. I believe the UK hasn't really got any personal reasons to carry out hostile operations against Russia, but they do so on the behest of the United States, because it would be bad optics for USA to be painted as an active participant in this conflict.
