Because it serves their interest to say so, regardless if it's actually true. Russia is a welcome target and it's basically impossible to prove who's reponsible for a hack like this (the korean symbols in the Fancy Bear's website's [1] source code are cute though).
Also, that's how media works these days. One press release to Reuters, and all the newspapers publish the same "facts".
That being said, I think it's fairly plausible that some actor with relations to Russia would publish documents like these.

- ezhik_ 10y agoThis is driving me crazy. No proves was provided of almost any (all?) claims against Russia in the last 2-3 years. They just continue saying: "It was Russian", "It was Putin" etc. But where is the proves? Give me then and I'll stop talking about this. Several years ago I used to support eastern position in all situation in Russia. But after accusation against Russia with no proves started to appear I become quite disappointed in the US...
