Its russia who help commies of korea, esp in air wars.
Soviets never delivered on their promise of air assets. Infact Mao never forgave Stalin for his delaying tactics. Korea was important for Stalin but he didn't fell it was important enough to risk a confrontation with USA. However I have seen a fews pics of Russian volunteers piloting Korean planes.
Interms of casualties the commies lost bigtime but then PRC ensured that the status quo that existed before the war was maintained. They wanted a buffer from USA and Allies.
USA was successful initially. 35,000 American soldiers were martyred in 3yrs and battled against the commies in in-hospitable terrain but managed to kick out the commies above the 38th parallel. However USA wasn't able to unify the penninsula under a democratic gov.
Probably the biggest loser was Kim Il Sung. His army was shattered, industries destroyed and the South never forgave him for initiating the aggression....
