The country with the highest inflation in the world will be able to pay its debt and help Europe during the oil crisis caused by the Russians. 

the Italian oil company Eni SpA and the spanish Repsol SA stated, in an interview with Reuters, that they are interested in sending oil from Venezuela to Europe in order to pay the debts that the socialist country, governed by Maduro, has in relation to Europe. The decision was taken as a way to convert the sanctions carried out by the United States, governed by Joe Biden, to Russia. Russia was one of the countries responsible for world exports and is now experiencing an intense blockage in its sales. The decrease in Russian oil production, in view of the sanctions, is causing the Brent reaches one of his highest values ​​in history. 

Venezuela's debt with Brazil, according to data belonging to the BNDES, is in a range of  $ 436,85 million. The country had been experiencing economic blockades after some interventions imposed on Trump, but it could resume its economy with this new export possibility.

Despite the ideological differences between the United States and Venezuela, Biden had already raised the hypothesis that he could return to negotiations with Venezuela because of the sanctions he applied on the Russians during the end of February with the innovations ordered by Putin to the Ukrainians. According to what had been stated by Putin, the Ukrainians were not obeying what was foreseen in the contract between the two countries that would have been signed during the 90s.
