Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

This concerns yesterday's story about the missile strike on a warehouse full of Ukrainian naval drones which was destroyed by a Russian hypersonic missile.

Yes, Zelensky is seen, but not killed.

Because the decision to kill or not to kill Zelensky is not a military decision, but a political one.

There is no order to liquidate Zelensky, that’s why they don’t shoot. That’s why all the stories about the assassination attempts on Zelensky are worthless - there is no such team. Priorities will change and there will be a command - the tracked motorcades of Zelensky and his entourage will immediately begin to be sent to fire.

PS. In the photo, taken by a Russian UAV hovering over Kherson, Zelensky’s motorcade in Kherson.

As you might guess, launching a hypersonic missile from Crimea at a fixed target was not difficult. An Iskander with a cluster warhead would work well here. But...

That’s why Zelensky rides around calmly, because he knows that they are not going to kill him. At least at the current stage.
