Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his military commanders to abandon previous restraints on attacks, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Zelenskyy said Putin gave the order in September, as Russia intensified attacks on civilian infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, telecommunications facilities and data centers across Ukraine.
“He said there are no rules now,” the Ukrainian leader told the Financial Times, citing Ukrainian intelligence that included intercepted communications involving Kremlin officials.
Moscow has stepped up its aerial campaign against Ukrainian cities in recent weeks, seeking to regain the advantage in the war as the frontline in eastern Ukraine remains largely stalled.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has also increased strikes on Russian oil depots and energy facilities, seeking to disrupt Russia’s military logistics and the revenue that helps finance its war.
**‘No rules’**
Zelenskyy said a recent attack on a school in Kyiv illustrated the growing scale of Moscow’s attacks on civilian targets.
On Thursday, a Russian jet-powered drone struck a school in the Ukrainian capital while 104 pupils and 60 teachers were inside. No casualties or injuries were reported, as those inside reached the school’s underground shelter before the drone hit.
Moscow’s recent attacks have also forced the full or partial closure of three bridges in Kyiv, as well as striking data centers, residential buildings and gas stations.
“The Russians couldn’t occupy us. So now they are doing massive attacks and massive killing,” Zelensky said in a post on X on Friday.
“They want people to run away from their cities, and we need to do everything to save our people and cities,” he added.
**New interceptors**
In recent weeks, Russia has also increased its use of high-speed jet-powered drones, further straining Ukraine’s air defenses as the country struggles with a shortage of interceptors.
Zelenskyy said one way of countering the new threat is through the use of US-made F-16 fighter jets, which “destroy 50 to 60% of jet drones now.”
However, about half of Ukraine’s F-16s were unavailable for use, spending lengthy periods in Europe undergoing repairs and maintenance, he told the Financial Times.
The Ukrainian leader added that Kyiv is also developing its own high-speed interceptor drones, with five models currently being tested.
Ukraine plans to produce around 400 units of one of the models by the end of October.
Zelenskyy said, however, that a key obstacle to scaling up production was a shortage of engines needed to power the drones.
“Engines are key. We import a lot and produce some, but these numbers are not enough,” he said.
Moscow has denied targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov telling the Financial Times that “Russia’s armed forces do not strike schools or hospitals.”
