2022年可說是委內瑞拉政權谷底翻身的一年。2019年，委內瑞拉爆發政治危機，反對派領袖瓜伊多站出來成立臨時政府，誓要推翻現任左派獨裁總統馬杜洛。此事件導致委內瑞拉經濟嚴重崩盤，美國更是對馬杜洛政府祭出制裁，還以1,500萬美元懸賞馬杜洛。然而事情在2022年有了重大翻轉。受惠於全球石油價格上升，擁有世界第一石油儲量的委內瑞拉GDP增長率終於由負轉正（9年來第一次）。還沒完。因為俄羅斯石油遭到抵制，美國也放寬對委內瑞拉石油的制裁，委內瑞拉兩年來總算將第一批石油運往歐洲，緩解歐洲的能源危機。與此同時，馬杜洛也飛到伊朗，兩個被美國制裁的國家簽訂20年合作計畫。若要問誰是俄烏戰爭下最得利的漁翁，應該就屬委內瑞拉和馬杜洛了吧。

Located in northern South America, Venezuela has the world's largest known oil reserves and is a founding member of OPEC. Its economy is strongly dependent on the exportation of oil. Poverty and inflation began to increase when Nicolás Maduro was elected president in 2012. A political crisis broke out in 2019 when some western countries supported Juan Guaidó for president, while other countries such as Cuba, China, and Russia continued to recognize the left-leaning Maduro as president. The crisis caused hyperinflation in Venezuela that began in 2016. The inflation rate hit 10 million percent in 2019, resulting in a food shortage crisis. Oil revenue was all they had left. Although it's a democratic republic, Venezuela has been one of the least democratic regimes in Latin America according to the Democracy Index, even less democratic than Cuba.
