China and India insist Russia trades in Dollars or their own currency so often it is cheaper for Russia to buy and transfer things directly from them instead of paying a double sanctions tax. Belarus and Russia can often trade stuff back and forth, the sanctions game involves lots of bartering.
Basically Putin wrote a IOU to Luka to get Kim his fries then used some RMB reserves to buy him a French fry factory. It is worth mentioning that it is not one way sanctions evasion; there are many sanctioned items that at least in modest numbers the DPRK can probably get better than Russia can. Japanese high tech companies can be downright clumsy at times, like occasionally misplacing entire CnC plants.
