Venezuela to move oil HQ to Moscow in attempt to circumvent sanctions

EXCERPT
Venezuela is moving the headquarters of its state oil company from Lisbon to Moscow, the country's vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, announced Friday.

“We are going to make industrial investments to produce everything we need in our country with the Russian Federation’s help,” Nicolas Maduro's second-in-command said at a press conference in Moscow with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov. “We are strategic partners.”

Russia continues to be one of the key allies of the embattled Maduro dictatorship, offering humanitarian assistance and a massive line of credit for a governmental infrastructure struggling to stay afloat, purchasing petroleum amid U.S. sanctions, and now serving as an asset haven for Venezuelan operatives.
