O George Soros έχει τεράστιο αποτύπωμα στην Ουκρανία. Παρόμοια με τις επιχειρήσεις του σε δεκάδες άλλα έθνη, κατά τις τελευταίες δύο δεκαετίες, έχει χύσει δεκάδες εκατομμύρια δολάρια στις Ουκρανικές Μη Κυβερνητικές Οργανώσεις (ΜΚΟ), δήθεν για να τους βοηθήσει στη μετατροπή της χώρας τους σε μια πιο “ανοικτή” και «δημοκρατική» κοινωνία.Πολλοί από τους συμμετέχοντες στην “EuroMaidan” διαδηλώσεις του Κιέβου, ήταν μέλη του Soros ΜΚΟ , εκπαιδεύτηκαν από τις ίδιες τις ΜΚΟ σε πολλές ημερίδες και συνέδρια που χρηματοδοτείται από το Διεθνές Ίδρυμα Αναγέννηση Σόρος (IRF), καθώς και διαφόρων ινστιτούτων του Open Society.

Billionaire investor/activist George Soros has a giant footprint in Ukraine. 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.
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. The IRF, founded and funded by Soros, boasts that it has given “more than any other donor organization” to “democratic transformation” of Ukraine.
The International Renaissance Foundation’s Annual Report for 2012, the latest available, states that, “IRF provided UAH 63 million in funding to civil society organizations – more than any other donor organization working in this field in Ukraine.” The “UAH” reference used above refers to the Ukraine Hryvnia, Ukraine’s currency, which is worth about 0.11 $US, or eleven cents in U.S. currency. That translates into, roughly, $6.7 million that IRF provided to Ukrainian groups in 2012; not a huge sum, by comparison to many other political and social campaigns, but more than merely “significant.”
In the cash-starved Ukraine, Soros’s dollars go a long way toward seducing and co-opting all legitimate political opposition into the Soros-approved “progressive” camp.
