Reuters) - Billionaire financier George Soros has urged the West to step up aid to Ukraine, outlining steps towards a $50 billion (33.22 billion pounds) financing package that he said should be viewed as a bulwark against an increasingly aggressive Russia.
Writing in the New York Review of Books, Soros said Europe and the United States needed to balance sanctions imposed on Russia with large-scale assistance to near-bankrupt Ukraine, which risks defaulting on debt as a result of turmoil caused by pro-Russia separatist fighting.

This is bad press. At face value, it looks like Soros’s mafia is against Putin.
I wonder... could Putin have Soros killed?
Soros should just take it out of his petty cash account and fork it over.
Soros needs to shut up and put his own money where his BIG mouth is.
Wow. Considering Oliver Stone’s bullcrap lately
Why doesn’t Soros give any of his own money?
It would be the first good thing Putin ever did.
i dunno. if soros is for it, then i;m skeptical
“At face value, it looks like Soros’s mafia is against Putin.”
How do you think all of this started?
It was the Soros Group/Omidyar Network Billionaires that set this thing off to begin with.
Why do you think so many Obama-connected crony’s, like Joe Biden’s son, are running off with all of Ukraine’s assets?
So0ros is called “The Devil” in Asia.
Hmmm
...French President Francois Hollande says he wants Western sanctions on Russia to be lifted if progress is made in talks on the Ukraine conflict this month
... Germany's vice-chancellor has warned against further sanctions on Russia.Sigmar Gabriel - a centre... the sanctions were aimed at making Russia negotiate to resolve the Ukraine conflict.
But some "forces" in Europe and the US wanted sanctions to cripple Russia, which would "risk a conflagration"."We want to help get the Ukraine conflict resolved, but not to push Russia onto its knees,"
“I wonder... could Putin have Soros killed?
It would be the first good thing Putin ever did.”
Soros is just the diaper-wavering figurehead, now.
It’s the sons, and the Billionaire oligarchs of the Soros Group running the show, now.
Be glad Soros is a known tightwad. Otherwise, he would be giving hundreds of millions per year to help destroy America, instead of a few million a year.
Well it would be a start, at least.
Well Gorgie Forbes says you have about 20 Billion. You put that up and we will consider matching it.
Let’s hope he will.
