I read from western slandering sources he was punishing the families of his failed soldiers.

There, fixed that for you

They just got access to trade with a continent sized country, with all sorts of resources they were previously denied. Sounds like a beneficial arrangement for the north koreans, in their situation.

Yep, plus the DPRK has an interest in selling some of its missiles and getting troop training in a real combat scenario. The US isn't capable of sanctioning the DPRK any more than they already have been, so ironically this means the DPRK doesn't have to care as much how the west sees it.

And Russia's veto in the UN Security Council has helped undermine the enforcement of sanctions imposed on North Korea. The most astonishing thing is that, in terms of profit/loss, friendship with Russia has proven to be much more beneficial for North Korea than friendship with the US/EU has been for Ukraine.

than friendship with the US/EU has been for Ukraine.

Having economy crushed by shock therapy, series of comprador governments, biggest human trafficiking source in Europe, people fleeing poverty left and right for 30 years, and finally being proxified into the attrition warfare sets this bar incredibly low though.
