Result: the USSR got to test out their new equipment. Without Soviet supplies, North Korea would've had no tanks, artillery, jets, fuel, or ammo. Without the USSR, there would have been no Korean War.
North Korea exists as a result of both Soviet and American occupation of the Korean Peninsula after the end of WW2 and as a result of North Korea's initial refusal to participate in the United Nations.

In 1945, the Korean Peninsula was divided between a U.S. controlled South Korea and a Soviet controlled North Korea. In the late 1940s, the U.S. kept troops in South Korea but turned over the government to the South Koreans. The Soviets removed troops from North Korea but created a puppet government under the control of a ancestor of Kim Jong Il (they still gave weapons and equipment). As a result, North Korea got a communist government (from Soviet influence) and South Korea got a democratic government (from U.S. influence).
