Putin told reporters in Kyrgyzstan that the notion was "complete rubbish" and said he did not even know the pipeline existed. He also suggested the damage could have been caused by an earthquake.

It could be a retaliation of sorts for Finland joining NATO and Estonia being one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine relative to their GDP. Or it could be something as simple as that Balticconnector is really close to a Russian port. I don't think that a thing you've said is wrong, just that there are a few other factors that might push Russia towards choosing Balticconnector over a Norwegian pipe
