It has quoted a slew of opinions from leading Kremlin-watchers who say the Russian president has already achieved his goals of crippling Ukraine and consolidating his power in Russia.

"Putin's Russia has proved superior to the European Union by being more flexible and throwing up surprises constantly," Soros noted in an article for the New York Review of Books. Soros blames the U.S and said it offered Ukraine "a façade of support with little substance behind it," and Ukraine is plunging into an economic collapse.
