  "account": "Ukrainian troops are training for war at a sprawling NATO camp in eastern Poland, known as Camp Jomsborg. The camp, purpose-built on NATO soil, features a Viking-themed entrance with trench networks, a mock village, and drone labs. Leading the training is the Norwegian Telemark Battalion, whose emblem is a Viking ship and whose battle cry is \"to Valhalla!\" Norwegian instructors adapt the training alongside Ukrainian counterparts, incorporating new recruits and experienced soldiers. The camp includes five shooting ranges, a shoot house for building combat scenarios, and a drone airstrip and lab for testing and repairing drones. The camp's Viking references extend to street signs and Norse mythological names, symbolizing discipline and professionalism.",
