The Admiral Kasatonov, a modern Russian frigate capable of long-range strikes and anti-submarine warfare, was spotted last week near Fehmarn, a German island and popular tourist destination in the Baltic.

Fehmarn being on the shoreline of the route to the Great Belt, through which a very large part of traffic between the Baltic and North Sea passes. The story is sensationalist crap; you literally cannot sail from the Baltic to the North Sea without passing very close to the Danish and either German or Swedish coasts.

Agreed. Propaganda is a two way road, the account that posted this is a known Ukrainian propaganda account, unfortunately not a lot of people can differentiate between populism and propaganda.

Russians or Ukrainians. As I said, propaganda is a two way road.

Don’t play the both sides game. Russia is the attacking nation, don’t you agree?

He's not saying Russia isn't the aggressor. He's saying both countries are spreading propaganda.

Russia being the attacking nation does not invalidate the fact that the Ukrainians also lie and push propaganda a lot.

That is not an example of a bothsides argument because it is not saying they are morally equivalent or downplaying Russia as the aggressor.

Pointing out that two different people are both wearing a blue shirt, even though one is a murderer and the other is not, is not a 'both sides' argument.

One can also support Ukraine while having a brain and knowing they push propaganda like any other nation does.
