NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has faced pushback from President Donald Trump over member contributions.

"Russia has a last opportunity to take the responsible path," NATO's secretary-general warned.

"The launch aimed to confirm the advanced missile system's capabilities and flight characteristics," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"For over five years, the United States has pursued diplomatic and technical avenues with Russia aimed at preserving the INF Treaty," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said.

All of NATO's 29 members will take part in the exercises, as will the alliance's partners Sweden and Finland.

The retired four-star general shifted in his seat and looked away as Trump branded Germany a "captive" of Russia, but the White House says he was simply underwhelmed by the catering.

Trump has said the U.S. should spend less but he spent more on Europe's defense, all for a Russian threat he disputes is there.

Trump boasted that the NATO leadership is very fond of him, but says Russia must be thinking "if we did like this guy, we made a big mistake."

Historically, NATO and the EU don't normally work together, but this is changing.

"This is Russia destabilizing Eastern Ukraine," said Jens Stoltenberg.

A 2013 drill on the edge of the Stockholm archipelago was a simulated attack, Stoltenberg said.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow would move to protect its interests

We cannot rule out that a conflict between the major powers could break out simply based on circumstance.

Jens Stoltenberg's visit was described as a "milestone" by Ukrainian officials.

The figures showed defense spending is set to fall by 1.5 percent in real terms this year after a 3.9 percent fall in 2014.

NATO's Secretary-General said the measures, a response to Russia's annexation of Crimea, were defensive.
