Russia has condemned the test, like others before it, as "a provocation," but Lavrov said the way the United States was handling the situation was dangerously provocative. "The Americans need to explain to us all if they want to find a pretext to destroy North Korea. Moscow sells oil products to North Korea and thousands of North Korean workers toil in Russia, sending remittances back to the authorities in Pyongyang. Lavrov said Haley's call for the world to isolate North Korea was wrong. He also complained that the United States was "totally ignoring" a UN demand for talks with North Korea.
