Possibly though I haven't seen any reports of 125mm tank ammunition coming from Nth Korea. The article does say it is a common problem.

Hopefully with a now steady(er) supply of western arms, the coming arrival of AWACS-directed F-16 gaining (limited) aerial superiority, and a growing number of Patriot and other anti-air battery systems, the days of Russia taking more territory are coming to a close. It's perhaps the end of the beginning, as Churchill famously said.
But what of Ukraine's ability to liberate its territory, including Crimea? It would seem to be that by the end of 2024 Ukraine won't be lacking the kit to accomplish this, but will be lacking the manpower. Perhaps allowing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men to flee the country in 2022 was not wise - and now it's time to ask for them to return. If 2024 is about regaining the initiative, 2025-2026 has to be about pushing Russia out of all of Ukraine. They'll need a million man/women army to accomplish this.

Ukraine’s new ‘Frankenstein’ tank will put the fear of God into Putin
Since the first great tank battle at Cambrai on November 20, 1917, the great and the good have foretold the end of these armoured beasts. Yet over 100 years later, the metal box with tracks and a gun is still tearing up the battlefields of eastern Europe. The adaptability of the basic tank...
I don't believe this story is anything more than speculation driven by Rheinmetall's recent showing of the SkyRanger 35 on a Leopard 2 hull (see below). I have seen nothing about this on a Leopard 1 hull or its acquisition by Ukraine and in fact the story is very vague.
