The prime minister took third place after Soros.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThrough the organizations financed by him, Soros can influence economic and political life in all of Ukraine,\u201d the Kyiv-based paper notes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>They\u2019re hardly being hyperbolic.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Soros\u2019s influence in Ukraine kicked off in 1989, two years before the collapse of the USSR, when he was creating a series of NGOs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The most notable was in April 1990, when the International Renaissance Foundation (IRF), a part of the Open Society Foundations\u2019 international network, was established in Kyiv. Ukraine was still a struggling part of the Soviet Union at the time. Soros\u2019s influence would only grow in 1991 onwards when the country became fully independent. The IRF was disconnected from reality and worked only with the \u201cNGO-cracy,\u201d whose leaders were busy networking with Western embassies rather than engaging with citizens. Detractors rebuked the narrow patronage network of NGOs where leadership used access to domestic policymakers and Western donors to influence public policies, yet were out of touch with the public at large.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The IRF became the biggest international donor to Ukraine by 1994 with an annual budget of $12 million, which it claims was for \u201cprojects that ranged from retraining tens of thousands of decommissioned soldiers to the creation of a contemporary arts center in Kyiv\u201d named the Soros Center for Contemporary Arts. Today, its aid to Ukraine totals $7.8 million, with a reported spending breakdown of 42 percent going toward \u201cDemocratic practice and human rights,\u201d 24 percent to \u201chealth and rights\u201d 15 percent to \u201cjustice system reforms,\u201d and the rest split between \u201ceconomic governance and advancement,\u201d \u201ceducation,\u201d and \u201cequity and antidiscrimination.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Soros has spent over $180 million in Ukraine since 1991.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In addition to Soros\u2019s early endeavors in the country as the USSR collapsed, he financed Mikheil Saakashvili, the president of Georgia (2004\u20132013), who became governor of Ukraine\u2019s Odessa region (2015\u20132016), and Svitlana Zalishchuk, a former member of Ukrainian parliament.

Thus, Europe should help Ukraine implement reforms necessary for the country,\u201d Soros belabored, urging that the implementation of such reforms required financial assistance.
