Good, if true. The DPRK has been forbidden from importing oil for far too long. Now the US can't do anything to Russia any more economically, so Russia doesn't have to respect the sanctions and import bans on the DPRK.

Indeed, I'm very excited about this development. I still think that DPRK needs to develop its own nuclear industry in the long run though and become self sufficient in energy. In the near term though, oil from Russia will be a huge boon.

Oil would help the DPRK a lot. DPRK only has about 28% arable land. Motorised arm machinery would help them a lot. I hope the oil keeps flowing to them.
