Accidental cable cuts happen all the time, but there is clear proof of intentional sabotage for some of the recent cuts. I believe this is akin to the US flying obvious spy planes over countries at altitudes they can't stop them at even if they wanted to: a show of force, likely unrelated to how a full-on military conflict would work. If Russia wanted to make these attacks look like an accident, they could've sent fishing ships or at least pick more believable anchor points.
