Russia has only one opportunity to influence Ukraine - through the Russian Orthodox Church. This opinion in an interview with LIGA. net was expressed by the British political scientist of Ukrainian origin Taras Kuzio.
"Now Moscow does not have such opportunities to influence Ukraine, as once, Putin lost everything. There used to be so-called soft power (soft power - ed. ) - through the media, social networks, through the church, the economy and gas, "he said.. According to the political scientist, over time this limitation of influence will intensify.
In addition, Moscow will have less opportunities also because the West "has finally woken up," Kusio said..
"And especially after the events in the UK with Skripal and now - in Syria," he summed up.
