According to Soros, Putin “decided to punish Ukraine for resisting, and began to act without any brakes.”

Russia’s attack on Ukraine on February 24 marked the beginning of World War III.
George Soros, an American financier and founder of the Renaissance Foundation, stated this in his article, which was published by Project Syndicate .
According to Soros, this war has the potential to destroy our civilization.
The article says that before the invasion, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping released a large document declaring a close partnership between the two countries.
“I was surprised that Xi is clearly giving Putin carte blanche to invade and start a war against Ukraine,” Soros said.
“Putin, with Xi’s backing, has gone about pursuing his lifelong dream with incredible brutality. Putin will soon be 70 years old and he feels that if he wants to leave a mark on Russian history, he must act now or never.” says in the article.
According to Soros, Putin intends to become a tsar for Russia, and “having come up with the idea of a fix, Putin has clearly lost touch with reality.”
“I don’t know Putin personally, but I watch his rise very carefully and I know that he is ruthless. He turned the Chechen capital Grozny into ruins, and now he is threatening to do the same with the Ukrainian capital Kiev,” the financier wrote.
According to Soros, Putin expected Russian-speaking Ukrainians to welcome Russian soldiers with open arms, but he was wrong.
“He [Putin – ed.] decided to punish Ukraine for resisting, and began to act without any brakes. He threw the entire Russian army into battle and ignores any rules of war,” Soros said.
According to him, it is possible that Russia will lose this war, since Western partners supply Ukraine with defensive weapons.
“In the meantime, Xi seems to have realized that Putin has gone wild… Xi called French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and said he supported their peacekeeping efforts. He wants maximum restraint in this war to prevent a humanitarian crisis. There is no guarantee that Putin will give in to Xi’s wishes. We can only hope that Putin and Xi will be removed from power before they destroy our civilization,” Soros concluded.

On the MFA of Ukraine FB page, can be seen an interview with Dmytro Kuleba in English. It is harrowing in the extreme.
Try to catch it if you can. The recording is already up.
Soros is a pig as bad as Putin and Xi. But he is right about the beginning of WW#. The only problem he has is the start time. It started n the winter of 2014 with the original invasion and theft of Crimea and the part of the Donbas they held for 8 years.
That’s supposed to WW3
It has to be said now. It started with the EU-sponsored removal of Viktor Yanukovich. Remember the outrage about the Capitol Storm in D.C. How was Maidan different? That gave the enemy the pretext for ‘intervention’. And it continues. One thing is for sure, should RuSSia attack Nato, they will be a parking lot in no time!
It is the war in Ukraine that will determine if WWIII will start … if the rat wins. If the rat losses, then not.
