Theories about the cause of a Russian airliner crash in Sinai that killed 224 passengers are "speculation" at this stage, the Kremlin says.
"Any sort of version of what happened... can only be put forward by the investigation," spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists.
He was speaking after US and UK officials said intelligence suggested the plane may have been bombed.
Militants linked to Islamic State (IS) have claimed that they brought it down.
The Metrojet Airbus 321, bound for St Petersburg, crashed in Egypt's Sinai desert just 23 minutes after take-off from Sharm el-Sheikh on Saturday
Most of those on board the plane were Russian.
On Thursday, the UK suspended flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh, leaving thousands of Britons stranded at the resort.
UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the government had looked at all the information available, including the claim by IS, and concluded that there was a "significant possibility" the plane had been brought down.
But Egypt's civil aviation minister, Hossam Kamal, said the investigation team had "as yet no evidence or data confirming this theory".
Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, who is on a visit to the UK, told the BBC: "We do not want to rush into conclusions. We all share the same concerns. We want to know the reasons behind it.
"The investigation will be disclosed with all transparency, we have nothing to hide."
Mr Sisi, who is due to meet UK Prime Minister David Cameron, had previously dismissed the IS claim as propaganda.
The timing of Britain's statement on the air crash could not have been worse, just as President Sisi was arriving in London for his first official visit.
A senior official in his delegation told me this morning they were not told in advance. He said this would be one of the most important topics in today's meeting between the two leaders and would have an impact on other issues. We won't be as receptive, is how he put it.
Egyptian officials say they had responded to every British request for extra security at Sharm el Sheik airport including additional troops in and around the airport.
This is a hugely embarrassing moment for the Egyptian authorities but, if it is proven that a bomb was on board the plane, they also face troubling questions about their ability to maintain security in the midst of significant threats.
On Thursday, the airline said it had suspended all flights of Airbus A321 jets in its fleet.
The Russian press is has been playing down the idea that Islamist militants might be targeting Russia over its aerial bombing campaign in Syria.
A senior member of Russia's upper house of parliament, Konstantin Kosachev, was quoted as saying that Britain's move was "politically motivated by its opposition to Russia's actions in Syria".
Also on Thursday, the first funeral for a victim of the crash was held in Russia, as Nina Lushchenko, a 60-year-old school
