George Soros ready to invest $1bn in Ukraine ― RT Business

US hedge fund billionaire George Soros said he will invest $1 billion in Ukraine provided the West improves investment conditions, and warned there is no such thing as a ‘benevolent investor’.

"I stand ready. There are concrete investment ideas, for example in agriculture and infrastructure projects. I would put in $1 billion. This must generate a profit. My foundation would benefit from this ... Private engagement needs strong political leadership,” the hedge fund manager said in an interview with the Austrian newspaper Der Standard, as quoted by Reuters.
