Russia has been literally selling Venezuela all kinds of military equipment for decades.

If they hadn’t helped Venezuela militarily this time, it’s probably because they are a little busy losing thousands of troops per week in Ukraine.

Yes, they sold things to Venezuela. Nato gave Ukraine weapons and training for free.
"for free"
Largely, yes. No formal contract of getting things in return. Only now with Trump it shifted to transaction. But europe is largely still gifting.
