Mysterious ‘Russian Sub’ Off Sweden May Be Dutch – Defense Ministry Source -- RT

Russia said there was no substance in reports of the Russian connection in the story.
“On Sunday the Russian Defense Ministry provided whatever aid it could to the Swedes in their futile search,” the source commented.
