There might be a reason for that - it could be possible that they are trying to provoke a response from the Russian AF to reignite the discourse in Western mainstream propaganda outlets.
I doubt this could actually work at this point, considering the fact that American puppeteers and their EU vassals are starting to admit that "project Ukraine" is going down fast, and the same propaganda outlets have been grooming the public for another Afghanistan-like defeat. Hell, they are now willing to openly admit it was Ukraine who shelled Donetsk, again.
It's possible, but they have been doing this stuff for a while and Russia never reacts. The fact that mainstream western media is now openly reporting on this is probably the most notable aspect of the whole thing. I completely agree that they're trying to shift the narrative now and throw their proxy under the bus.
