Remember Dzhokhar Dudaev? He led the Chechens during their first uprising against Russia in die 90s and was assassinated by Russia in 1996 who used a rocket to kill him in the streets of Grozny.

Currently, Russia is fighting its democratic neighbor Ukraine in a bloody and expensive war it seems incapable to win. One of the strengths of Ukraine is undoubtedly their charismatic leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy who succeeded in uniting not only the Ukrainians against the aggressor, but also almost all of the decision makers of the Western World.

My question is - Why did Russia not assassinate Zelenskyy using a rocket? They don't even have to establish a no fly zone, Russia is demonstrating each and every day of the war that they are able to use long range rockets to hit targets all over Ukraine, sometimes very precisely even. Even more interestingly - Zelenskyy himself has been using social media and TV to show each and every day that he is alive and working actively, often doing that outside in the streets of Ukraines capital Kyiv. In many cases it is quite easy to find out to which places he goes often just by looking at his self-published footage.

To be clear - I do not hope that this happens, quite the opposite, I fear that this might happen and thus wonder why Russia has not done that yet and why Zelenskyy is giving away his positions so often and openly.
