In addition to Yan's answer:

If you permanently deleted work items by choosing Destroy, then no:

Destroy: Permanently delete work items, deleting all data from the work tracking data store.

Source: Remove, delete, or restore work items in Azure Boards

This is not possible. According to the documentation:

WARNING: If the destroy parameter is set to true, work items deleted by this command will NOT go to recycle-bin and there is no way to restore/recover them after deletion.

This is related to the REST API but is the same for UI action and command-line tool.
