MOSCOW (Reuters) - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Wednesday there were no longer any "moral limits" to stop Moscow from destroying its enemies' undersea communication cables given what he said was Western complicity in the Nord Stream pipeline blasts.

Medvedev made the comments on his official channel on the Telegram messaging application.
