Misleading headline. According to the article, Norway has done no such thing. Norwegian businesses have done no such thing. However Turkey, a NATO member and EU applicant, continues to facilitate Russian evasion of international sanctions.

Most of Hidirusta Otomotiv’s shipments to Russia consisted of Kongsberg Automotive parts it bought from other resellers, while it imported the rest directly from the Norwegian company.
Hidirusta Otomotiv did not respond to a request for comment. Kongsberg Automotive called the resale of its parts into Russia “unacceptable and contrary to our values.”
Yeah, that seems to involve a lot of effort on the side of the turkish company to disguise what they are doing. It emphasizes the need for better supply chain transparency.
I am unsure, if the Norwegian company, could, should or must have known. The headline is certainly over the top for this unclear situation. "Norwegian automotive parts sold to Russia, despite EU Sanctions" or something like that would have been more appropriate. "Norway Fed" sounds like there is strong indication of deliberate behavior on the Norwegian side.

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) is an American government-funded media organization broadcasting news and analyses in 27 languages to 23 countries[7] across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Middle East. Headquartered in Prague since 1995, RFE/RL operates 21 local bureaus with over 500 core staff, 1,300 freelancers, and 680 employees at its corporate offices in Washington, D.C. Nicola Careem serves as the editor-in-chief.
Striking such a tone towards Norway, while being funded and thus ultimately influenced by the Trump administration seems questionable to me.
