Due to frequent attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on russian cities, Moscow has decided that "there are no more rules for Kyiv and there cannot be any." Former russian President and Deputy Chairman of the russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said this in a russian messenger.
This was reported by the portal of the russian edition of the British Broadcasting Corporation BBC.
According to him, the only exception for Moscow is "deliberate, that is, knowingly intentional, destruction of civilians."
Medvedev also said that the Hague Conventions on the Laws and Customs of War are "no longer needed." These documents distinguish between combatants and civilians, regulate the rules for treating prisoners of war, protect cultural monuments during war, etc.
Medvedev's statement came after the largest attack by Ukrainian drones on Moscow and the Moscow Oblast in the last two years, during which, in particular, the capital's oil refinery was hit.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy called this strike a response to the recent attack by russian military on Kyiv, during which, in particular, the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra caught fire and five people were killed in the city.
