Yes, the Soviets were using North Korean troops to invade South Korea. In return for fighting for the Soviet Union, the North Koreans received war equipment and support; Tanks (T-34's), Jets (MIG-15's), Trucks, Boats, Artillery, Medical Supplies, Food, Small Arms, Ammunition, etc. When Soviet Joseph Stalin died in March 1953, the North Koreans settled on the Armistice in July 1953. NO. SU didnt even want to wage war -.-

The Korean War was fought between the Communist Superpowers of the Soviet Union/Red China and the nations of the Free World, primarily using the North & South Koreans as the fighters and the soil of Korea as the arena. Although US & Red Chinese troops ultimately became directly involved, the war was still fought on Korean soil.
