This is the best summary I could come up with:
Norway is part of NATO and shares a border with Russia in the Arctic.
Speaking after a meeting of the chiefs of defence of NATO countries held in Oslo, General Eirik Kristoffersen said Russian President Vladimir Putin knew “very well” that NATO was not a threat to Russia.
“If he believed that we were threatening Russia, he couldn’t have moved on his troops to Ukraine to fight the war there.”
That pattern of Russian behaviour applies as well to how it has treated neighbouring Finland after it joined NATO in April, added Admiral Rob Bauer, chair of NATO’s military committee.
Finland and Russia share a 1,300 km (810 miles) border, with Russian troops along that zone, as with Norway, below the numbers they were before the war.
Otherwise they would have responded completely different to the accession of Finland," Bauer told the conference.
