North Korea could try to do deals with Russia to either build them nuclear power plants, or a gas pipeline.
Even if the Russo-Ukrainian War ended tomorrow, Russia will need to rebuild its weapons stockpiles for like a decade afterwards.
Once the SVO is over, Russia can buy ammo from China. No need to get them from North Korea.

If rumors of oil reserves in the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea are true, North Korea may also ask Russia for help in exploration.

But then again, is it really a submarine???

The illustration behind, although blurred, appears to show the hull painted red. If they are submarines, North Koreans tend to painted them green or black - red is only used on surface combatants to protect the hull from parasites that can damage the hull.
