How George Soros Singlehandedly Created The European Refugee Crisis (with McKinsey)
The war that ripped through the Ukrainian region of Donbass resulted in the deaths of over 10,000 people and the displacement of over 1.4 million people. As collateral damage, a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet was shot down, killing all 298 on board.
But once again Soros was there to profit from the chaos he helped create. His prize in Ukraine was the state-owned energy monopoly Naftogaz.
Soros again had his US cronies, Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew and US consulting company McKinsey, advise the puppet government of Ukraine to privatize Naftogaz.
Although Soros’s exact stake in Naftogaz has not been disclosed, in a 2014 memo he pledged to invest up to $1 billion in Ukrainian businesses, but no other Ukrainian holdings have since been reported.
McKinsey’s engagement with former Ukrainian strongman Victor Yanukovych is an example of a relationship the firm should never have entered into. Yanukovych hired McKinsey to buff his image in the West at a time when he was currying favor with the Russians and engaging in massive corruption. As the Times writes, McKinsey also has worked with corrupt, Kremlin-affiliated businesspeople like Rinat Akhmetov, some of whom have been placed under Western sanctions.
