I don't know why people would expect the Russian military to not be behind the attack on the dam when they have a long history of targetting civilian infrastructure.

The Ukrainian military doesn't have a history of false flag operations, so it wouldn't make sense for them to be behind an attack on a dam that wouldn't benefit them.

Ukraine was practicing to blow up the dam and even hit a valve before. Ukraine used water as a weapon with Crimea and blew up the Kerch bridge which justified Russia's attacks on civilian infrastructure.

Do you have any neutral sources on this like telegram sources? The only sources I can find are far right RT spam.

I'm not surprised that Ukraine blew up bridges, since blowing up bridges is very much in line with NATO-esque doctrine. It makes sense they'd do that after their military "decommunization" training with foreign militaries.
