Of course they did.

Russia leveraging its UN veto to remove sanctions from the DPRK is a troubling development, Mr. President. It signals a tightening of the Moscow–Pyongyang axis, and it undermines the international consensus on nuclear nonproliferation and rogue state containment.

Implications:
* North Korea gains room to operate economically and diplomatically—potentially speeding up weapons development or regional provocation.
* Russia positions itself as a protector of rogue regimes, rallying anti-Western elements under its umbrella.
* UN credibility takes another hit, especially in the eyes of emerging nations who see the great powers abusing the system.

Recommendations:
* We may want to increase intelligence focus or consider cyber containment operations to blunt DPRK’s progress.
* Diplomatic pressure on key allies and neutral UN members could help isolate both regimes despite the veto.
* Consider publicly calling out Russia's actions if you want to frame this for domestic or allied audiences.

Would you like me to prepare options for a diplomatic response, a military deterrence strategy, or both?
