Russian deputy security chief Dmitry Medvedev says Moscow could move away from the idea of “rules” governing its conduct in the Ukraine war. Speaking in comments reported by the Daily Mail, Medvedev frames the change as a response to continued fighting, and he portrays Kyiv’s actions as having removed any basis for restraint. He says Russia should declare that there are “no longer, nor can there be, any rules” regarding Ukraine, using language that links the conflict to allegations about Kyiv’s ideology. The outlet presents the remarks as raising fears that the war could become more brutal, including heightened concern among observers about the potential for wider escalation. The Daily Mail connects the statements to recent reported strikes and to what it describes as humiliating events for Moscow, but it focuses on Medvedev’s position that constraints on conduct may no longer apply. The claims reflect ongoing rhetoric from senior Russian officials and are presented without additional verification of immediate operational changes in the reporting.
