"But at the same time", the prime minister said, "dialogue for the sake of dialogue is valueless and it is necessary for us to exercise pressure North Korea so that it comes forward and engages in this serious dialogue".
North Korea warns it is prepared for war if the United States takes action to stop its ballistic missile program.
Dmitry Kiselyov, anchor of Russia's main weekly TV news show Vesti Nedeli, on the Rossiya 1 channel, is widely seen as the top pro-Kremlin presenter.
He said the failed missile launch, "shows why we are working so closely right now with the Chinese.to try to get this under control and aim for the denuclearized Korean peninsula".
It should be noted that the DPRK's push to create and then expand its nuclear weapons program has been a political thorn in the side of the last three presidents, all of whom decided that "strategic patience" would be the United States' response to the continued build-up.
When asked if he had ruled out some sort of military strike against North Korea, Trump said he did not wish to reveal his plans.
History tells us appeasement can be more risky than confrontation.
For his part, Korean War veteran Doug Finney said the suffering of the North Korean people - and the risk the same could befall South Koreans if outright conflict resumes - is the reason Canada must act.

The Trumps, along with their son Barron , watched the Easter Egg Roll, with the president blowing the opening whistle. Just read through these tweets about the White House Easter Egg Roll , which are as amusing as they are eye-opening.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to say whether Kiselyov's views chimed with the Kremlin's, but said his opinions weren't necessarily always interchangeable with the official position.
Pence, during an address in Seoul, said this is a "challenging time" for everyone.
The fact that Kiselyov is being given free rein to use such tough rhetoric about Trump is nonetheless likely to reflect how deep the Kremlin's anger runs about what it sees as Trump's failure to deliver on his pledge of better ties with Moscow. "As long as we have Marshal Kim Jong Un we can win any fight".
"The alliance between the United States and Japan is the cornerstone of peace and security in Northeast Asia", he told Abe.
In the comments to Fox News, Trump cited the strength of his newfound relationship with President Xi Jinping in explaining why he has dropped his past criticism of China. Many coal ships have been sent back, fuel has been sent back.
The Pentagon has not discussed which missile blew up after the North's launch on Sunday from a base near Sinpo on its east coast, and the White House has said only that it was a medium-range device. Lu said Beijing wants to resume the multi-party negotiations that ended in stalemate in 2009 and suggested that USA plans to deploy a missile defense system in South Korea were damaging its relations with China. The U.S. moves an huge warship to the waters off the peninsula in a display of military might. So, as we have lamented, is President Trump, who is looking trigger-happy after recent strikes in Syria and Afghanistan.
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters he hopes "there will be no unilateral actions like those we saw recently in Syria and that the USA will follow the line that President Trump repeatedly voiced during the election campaign".
One US official said the prospective shoot-down strategy would be aimed at occurring after a nuclear test, with the objective being to signal Pyongyang that the US can impose military consequences for a transgression Donald Trump has said is unacceptable.
