Similar to his operations in dozens of other nations, he has, over the past couple of decades, poured tens of millions of dollars into Ukrainian non-governmental organizations (NGOs), ostensibly to assist them in transforming their country into a more “open” and “democratic” society."
My understanding of Soros is that he represents pure evil in the world, not because of allegedly promoting more "open" or "democratic" society, but rather because he works to undermine basic institutions like fair elections and law enforcement and then most evilly, profits from the country's resulting financial collapse.
We can see his evil works in the USA in the election of lawless district attorneys who wantonly free dangerous criminals to prey on their communities, thus driving up crime rates to near record high levels in big cities ruled by Democrats.
What exactly Soros money did in Ukraine, I don't know, but we can obviously see that Ukrainians gradually shifted from attitudes of subservience to "mother Russia" toward one of seeking ever greater independence from "her".
How much of that was unnatural Soros influence and how much was just Ukrainians being Ukrainians, we can't really say.
We do know that Soros was not the only one providing aid to Ukraine. The US government also sent hundreds of millions of dollars in civilian aid each year, some of it intended to fight corruption, and that aid shifted from civilian to military after Vlad the Invader's 2014 takeover in Crimea and the Donbas.
But all that is irrelevant because what matters is that Ukrainians themselves wanted and voted for more independence from "mother Russia", and Vlad the Invader responded insanely with military actions and annexations.
None of that is on Soros, or anybody else, it's all 100% on Vlad the Invader's monomaniacal, empire-building, totally illegal aggressions.
JonPreston: "Many of the participants in Kiev’s “EuroMaidan” demonstrations were members of Soros-funded NGOs and/or were trained by the same NGOs in the many workshops and conferences sponsored by Soros’ International Renaissance Foundation (IRF), and his various Open Society institutes and foundations. "
Sure, no doubt Soros people would claim credit, but they would have accomplished nothing if the vast majority of Ukrainians didn't feel the same way, and support their efforts.
When the Russian stooge traitor Yanukovych unleashed violence on Maidan protestors and then fled to Russia, the Ukrainian parliament impeached his sorry rear end by a vote of by 328 to 0.
That had nothing to do with Soros and everything to do with Ukrainians themselves wanting freedom and independence from "mother Russia's" stifling embrace.
