Venezuela has found an ally in Russia. Russia has been a big financial help to Venezuela and has given the country billions of dollars. In 2017, Moscow bailed Venezuela out by restructuring more than $3 billion in sovereign debt. To Venezuela’s advantage, Russia has a permanent seat on the security council. They object to the United Nations intervention in Venezuela’s political affairs.

The relationship between Venezuela and Russia does have an impact on the United States. Russia wants to offset the United States influence in Latin America and elsewhere and they use Venezuela as a political foothold to do so. Russia’s state backed oil giant, Rosneft, is one of Venezuela’s largest foreign backers. Rosneft co owns several oil and gas projects with PDVSA, which is Venezuela’s state energy company that was just sanctioned by the United States. Venezuela has a few allies, but Russia is one of their most lucrative.

Russia–Venezuela relations remember participation among Russia and Venezuela for spaces of normal concern, as their normal status as oil exporters, and strategy toward the United States. Under President Hugo Chávez, Venezuela appreciated warm relations with Russia. Quite a bit of this was through the offer of military hardware; from 2005, Venezuela bought more than $4 billion worth of arms from Russia. Venezuela tried to foster mines at its biggest gold stores with assistance from Russia. Venezuelan Mining Minister, Rodolfo Sanz, let a Russian assignment know that a reminder of comprehension would be endorsed with the Russian-possessed Rusoro to work the Las Cristinas and Brisas mine undertakings with the Venezuelan government.

The previous, one of Latin America's biggest gold tasks, was under agreement to Canada's Crystallex, which had hung tight to no end for quite a long time for a natural permit to begin mining. The priest, be that as it may, said the public authority was assuming responsibility for the mine to begin work. With the Venezuelan government progressively incapable to pay its obligations despite the monetary disaster and devastating U.S. sanctions, Maduro has had more noteworthy trouble in getting new advances or speculations from Russia and China as of late, and neither Russia nor China gave new credits to Venezuela in 2019. Notwithstanding, the two nations kept on bringing in Venezuelan oil as a type of obligation reimbursement
