Russkies almost certainly already had divers and subs there and already have all the proof needed to establish the guilt of the perps, probably within 48 hrs of the attacks. I believe their foreign minister announced they “have the evidence” weeks ago.
That said, what precisely is to stop the russkies from steaming down there and making a show of it? It is their pipeline. It does lie in international waters. Blah blah about “exclusive economic zone” - that fish and minerals rights, not transit. What is Sweden gonna do? Torpedo a russian frigate? Not likely. And I don’t think Denmark has a canoe.
