Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may have marked the start of “a third world war,” and Russian President Vladimir Putin must be defeated “as soon as possible” if the world wants to preserve civilization.
That was the stark message that Hungarian-born billionaire and philanthropist George Soros delivered on Tuesday to attendees at the 2022 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“Even when the fighting stops, as it eventually must, the situation will never revert” to where it was before, warned the 91-year-old Soros.

Ukraine war: Put values over profits, Nato chief tells countries
The war in Ukraine has highlighted how countries need to put values before profits, Nato’s chief has warned.
Jens Stoltenberg said it had shown “how economic relations with authoritarian regimes can create vulnerabilities”.
His speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos singled out trade with Russia and China in particular.
Mr Stoltenberg pointed to issues such as Russia’s dominance over Europe’s gas supply, as well as bids from Chinese companies to run 5G networks.
