If my speculation is correct, then it fits with a radar spot seen by Sentinel-1 17:09 UTC 29 Oct.
The SAR-spot has a strange shape considering the presumed course, but this is due to the direction of flight of the satellite.

And a new SAR-image from 16:27 UTC is now available. It looks like a ship has taken the 1st berth previously occupied by LADY R. Whether this is a new ship, or LADY R or ASCALON has returned I cannot determine.

During this mornings Sentinel-1D pass at 05:32 UTC (06:32 CET) a ship without AIS was still following Valentin Rykov at ~3 NM. This is 30 minutes before the Danish patrol ship P524 started following.
The following ship does not appear to keep a distance to other ships. (0.5 NM to nearest ship.)

It must have have "arrived" there between the 04th and 10th of October from what I can see from satellite imagery. Unsurprisingly it does not seem to have moved since it got here.

Valentin Rykov might not be entering the Danish straits alone. On three different satellite images (24 Oct 17:01 UTC, 25 Oct 10:31 UTC, and 25 Oct 16:52 UTC) a ship with no AIS appear to be following at a distance of ~ 3 NM.
Could be a Danish warship on lookout, or something else sailing along.

Two satellites, Sentinel-1C and 1D from the EU's Copernicus programme, pass over Denmark about twice a day. The radar sees through clouds and darkness. The images are free from Copernicus ( browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu?zoom=5&lat=5... ), usually online 1–4 hours later.
