On his Twitter page, US-Hungarian billionaire businessman George Soros stood up for Ukraine’s sovereignty. He mentioned that the Ukrainian conflict reminded him of “the siege of Budapest in 1944.”
Soros posted a thread on Twitter, and, in one of his tweets, he mentioned the Budapest events of 1944:
Brave Ukrainians are now on the frontline and risking their lives in an onslaught that reminds me of the siege of Budapest in 1944 and the siege of Sarajevo in 1993.

According to Soros, “It is important that both the transatlantic alliance (the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom) but also other nations do whatever is in their power to support Ukraine in its time of existential threat,” adding that “Putin’s actions are a direct attack on the sovereignty of all States that were once in the Soviet Union, and beyond. Russia is in clear violation of the United Nations charter and should be held accountable.”
Soros thinks that “Allowing Putin to succeed on his quest will send a message across the world that nations can simply be created or dissolved by brute force. We must #StandWithUkraine, as they stand for us.”
