Of course they are.
They want to turn the Russian public opinion against the war in order to stop it, not turn Russians further against them and have them to escalate attacks. They also don’t want to alienate any outside supporters, who might think this is a dangerous escalation and therefore stop supplying weapons lest they end up being used in Russian territory and dragging them into the war.
Only benefit of claiming responsibility is in providing good news to their citizens, and they’ve got enough of that right now already.
