While media calls this a Russian hacker group, they don't really have anything (publicly disclosed), support this but speculation and the use of the Russian language (a common trick used by government and private hackers alike to obfuscate themselves as the perpetrators).

Yet, the only involvement we know for sure, was the 6 Ukrainian Clop members arrested in 2021:

FYI Clop, or Cl0p as it may be used, means "bug" or "bed bug" in Ukrainian and Russian.
