Soros Says Russia in Ukraine Poses Threat to EU Existence

The European Union must do more to counter Russia’s interference in Ukraine, where incursions threaten the bloc’s “very existence,” billionaire financier George Soros said.

“Europe needs to get its act together and prevent a financial collapse” in Ukraine, Soros said at a conference sponsored by the International Crisis Group in Brussels today. “If Ukraine effectively collapses or is neutralized in this way,” then “the geopolitical consequences would be far-reaching,” Soros said.
