Again, like a third of the ISS and its current crew is Russian. Why would they intentionally put their own station and cosmonauts at risk?

By the time anyone has technology to leave the planet, they will have the technology to sent up a fleet of space drones with lasers on their heads, to vaporize all the junk. Until then, satellites are working fine. There is much more space than junk out there.

Then who else do you propose did it?
If it can't be Russia for those reasons, then it can't be the US, either. That's half of the nations with ASAT capabilities ruled out. India has no reason to do it, especially since they enjoy fruitful cooperation with Russia on military and aerospace matters, and they would have nothing to gain by committing an act of war against them. China has the means to do it, and has grudges against both the US and Russia, but they wouldn't be so bold as to provoke the nuclear superpower on their own doorstep in such a manner.
Again, I'd like to point out, international law means that the only satellites you are allowed to shoot down are ones you own, and so shooting someone else's sat (even if its dead) is a significant diplomatic incident at best, and an act of war at worst. And whoever shot it would know this, and would have to be prepared for the consequences.

I'm not saying Russia didn't do it, I'm just doubtful threatening the ISS was intentional.

I find it extremely hard to believe Russia said "Lets test our shiny new missile by shooting a satellite without checking whether it will endanger our own assets!"
A defining characteristic of Russia since Soviet times is working on cutting edge tech but with the Indian safety standards
