You mean again?
Yeah, sure. Of course they would. Guaranteed.

U.S. intelligence officials believe Putin is providing North Korea with nuclear submarine and ballistic missile technology in exchange for Pyongyang’s sending Russia large amount of munitions for its war in Ukraine, the senior U.S. officials said. North Korea provides Russia with more munitions than Europe provides to Ukraine, including millions of artillery shells.
Officials are also concerned that Russia might help North Korea complete the final steps needed to field its first submarine able to launch a nuclear-armed missile.
The officials said that in exchange for the ammunition it is providing Moscow, North Korea wants Russia to provide it with ballistic missile parts, aircraft, missiles, armored vehicles and other advanced technologies.

And here some people will just ignore or deny how this conflict and Russia making the whole planet less safe.
This is just a 2 for one. They get ammo and ballistic missile, while the payment allows them to stick it to the US at the same time.

DPRK should tread lightly, Russia will abandon them again just like in the 90s
I hope they haven’t forgotten the lessons of self reliance

This is the best summary I could come up with:
“2024 is not going to be a good year,” said Victor Cha, senior vice president for Asia and Korea chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Officials are also concerned that Russia might help North Korea complete the final steps needed to field its first submarine able to launch a nuclear-armed missile.
Satellite images published in April by Beyond Parallel, a project examining the Korean Peninsula at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, showed activity at Tunnel No.
Whether or not Putin encourages Kim to take provocative actions designed to create a so-called October surprise in the U.S. presidential election, a second senior administration official said Russia might hesitate to such a step.
The increasingly close relationship between Putin and Kim represents a major shift from when Russia worked with the U.S. in the past to try to rein in North Korea.
Now, Moscow is using its veto power on the U.N. Security Council to give Pyongyang cover to evade sanctions enforcement measures intended to constrain its nuclear program.

Nah, russia used their only opportunity for a blitzkrieg in 2022. Now they have kilometers of minefields in every piece of land they try to capture. Blitzkrieg only works on unprepared opponent.
I fear the mind who thinks, “just let Russia take it,” and then goes about the rest of their day enjoying unprecedented relative peace.
