You should read the reports. Sweden was quite clear on how their investigation was closed because they determined that nothing indicated Sweden or Swedish citizens were involved in the attack, and that Sweden's jurisdiction did not applied anyway.

Denmark closed their investigation stating that even though they determined it was an act of sabotage, "there are not sufficient grounds to pursue a criminal case in Denmark".

No, there is only russian propaganda. They started to try to pin the blame on the US and UK, clearly to try to drive a wedge in NATO between continental allies and them, and only afterwards did they came with a bullshit theory involving Ukrainians on a yacht, this time to try to cool down support of Ukraine by EU members in a time when Ukraine needed them the most.
In the meantime, we are expected to believe that a theory pieced together involving a couple of Ukrainians in a yacht is plausible while multiple Russian ships loitering over the exact place where the explosions took place we're nothing substantial, particularly when said terrorist somehow kept intact Russia's only working gas pipeline feeding into Europe.

US Intel sources too. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-had-intelligence-ukrainian-plan-attack-nord-stream-pipeline-washington-post-2023-06-06/ https://www.reuters.com/world/us-had-intelligence-ukrainian-... https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/07/us/politics/nord-stream-pipeline-sabotage-ukraine.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/07/us/politics/nord-stream-p... I can’t possibly conclude one way or the other, but I don’t think you should either, as much as this whole war is Russia’s ultimate fault anyway
