Ukrainians are dedicated fighters, but they don't have the capacity to attack in Moscow.
And I don't think this ultranationalist guy without close ties to the Kremlin would be their first target.
How much capacity does a car bomb really need?

Ukraine denies orchestrating the car bombing, and since all they've done so far is send drones to Crimea or just over their eastern border, it doesn't sound too plausible that they'd be able to send saboteurs to install a car bomb in a target's car in the heart of Russia.
Which begs the question: Who did it and why?
Is it a false flag operation by Putin's government to torture or execute Ukrainian POWs, or step-up attacks? But right now both armies are taking a breather because they've run out of able bodies. Is it the work of anti-war or anti-ultranationalist Russians?
Car bombings have been rare in Russia for several decades now. This is very mysterious.
I can’t think of in-Russia assassinations that were not most likely done by Russia.

They won't. They've been cowed for centuries.
Russian history isnt your strong suit.
Yes, they've had revolutionary moments. But the broad swath of their history has been strongmen leaders and acquiescent serfs. They don't have culture of bottom-up governance that is required for anything approaching modern liberal democracy. You can see it in the dramatically different trajectory of Ukrainian politics. Ukraine has a ways to go, but they are on a whole different path.
There are no cultural differences between Russians and Ukrainians politically. Whoever says otherwise is just reading talking points.
Ukrainians say otherwise, and yes those are their talking points.
