Russia launched airstrikes in Syria on Wednesday in what it says is an effort to weaken ISIS. "The main question is what Russia is actually fighting in this case, since Russia's enemy is not exactly the enemy identified by the West," says analyst Linas Kojala of the Eastern Europe Studies Centre in Vilnius.
