To be fair, excercises and existing military plans don't always mean intention to invade. Pretty sure the US still have their plan to invade Canada.
At this point, Russia should know better than try to get involved with the Baltic states. The motivation, of course, would be to protect the Russian speakers there, but since those are NATO members, it probably is more a just-in-case/doomsday scenario than anything.
