The agency's interlocutor expressed confidence that during the investigation the Danish side contacted representatives of Western countries, which is why they stopped it.
“I am convinced that they are closing it not voluntarily, not of their own free will, but under pressure from the United States, so that there is no leakage, there is no information about the customers and the perpetrators of this incident,” Bashkin said.

The Russian leader's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said that Denmark's termination of the investigation into the terrorist attack on gas pipelines is astonishing.
