NATO sends 30,000 troops, 50 vessels and 200 aircraft to Russian-neighbour Norway for drills

Nearly 30,000 NATO troops have begun previously planned military drills in Norway as tensions between Russia and the West increase over the former's assault on Ukraine.
The military exercise was organized before Russia invaded Ukraine. The purpose of the drill is to see how Norway would manage its reinforcements in line with Article 5 of the NATO treaty, which says an attack against one alliance member is considered an attack against all of them.
More than two weeks ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched what he called a "special military operation" against Ukraine, and his invading forces are drawing closer to the capital city of Kyiv while encountering fierce resistance across the country. Meanwhile, the West fears that Putin's ultimate military goal may extend beyond Ukraine and include other parts of Eastern Europe, which could trigger a military response under NATO's Article 5, according to Politico.
The "Cold Response" drills are being held less than 200 miles from Norway's border with Russia, and while they were announced before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, this year's exercises now have greater importance.
