NATO in Biggest Mil. Exercise Since Cold War; Drills Focus on Protecting Ukraine from Russia

NATO has launched its biggest military exercise since the end of the Cold War nearly three decades ago, the Euro News website reports today (October 25, 2018).

The operation will test the response of NATO to a mock attack on Norway.

Over two weeks, drills will stretch from the Baltic Sea to Iceland, with much of the action taking place near Russia.

Western leaders have been increasingly concerned about Russia's involvement in Ukraine, since Russia illegally seized the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea in 2014.
