Paul Gasnier's account of Russia fighting phantoms

Original: paul gasnier

A report by Paul Gasnier, published in Le Nouvel Obs, describes Russia as 'a country at war against spectres, tilting its lance against windmills', a Don Quixote metaphor portraying Moscow's campaign as a fight against imaginary enemies. The piece is drawing attention in France as readers debate its stark characterisation of the Russian war effort.

Why now: Readers in France are discussing Gasnier's vivid, critical portrayal of Russia's war strategy in a new publication.
