“His (Soros’) IRF doled out more than $100 million to Ukrainian NGOs two years before the fall of the Soviet Union, creating the preconditions for Ukraine’s independence from Russia in 1991.”

You make this sound like a bad thing. If some country had starved 3,000,000 of my friends to death, I would have welcomed any help available to get independence.

“...his supposedly philanthropic “democracy-building” projects in Poland, Russia, or Ukraine in the 1990’s allowed Soros the businessman to literally plunder the former communist countries’ wealth.”

I imagine the Russian oligarchs have plundered a lot more wealth from the people than even Soros might have. Also from recent reports on foreign ownership of farm land in Ukraine, even US corporations have been dipping into the gravy train. Are these land grabbing US corporations Democrat or Republican owned/run?

All Soros NGOs are a bad thing, but I wouldn't expect you to understand. You're damaged property, and I bet all those associated with you are equally as damaged.

For relative context, 3-million Ukrainians was at least 10% of it's entire population, so equivalent in American terms to now 33-million Americans starved by official government policy.

So there's no reason why any Ukrainian should ever want to submit to any type of Russian rule ever again.
