Russia knew Zelensky's location precisely, did not strike
According to insider sources, on August 6, Russian intelligence services identified the exact location of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky through data. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
On that day, Zelensky arrived in the Sumy region together with the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskiy, Defense Minister Denis Shmyhal, and the commander of the airborne troops, Oleg Apostol. This date was not chosen by chance; it marked the anniversary of the military operation known as the "Kursk adventure," which is a heavy memory for Ukraine.
According to estimates, during this operation, the Ukrainian army lost at least 76,000 fighters. Zelensky listened to complete and detailed reports on the military situation in the region throughout the day.
The location could have been destroyed within minutes by "Iskander" missiles, but the Kremlin rejected such an action. "Putin personally prohibited a strike on Zelensky's convoy near Sumy.
The Russian army could have launched the missile, but the Supreme Commander did not allow it," reported the "Razvedchik" Telegram channel. According to sources, this decision is not mere compassion but a well-thought-out political strategy.
On that day, the Russian president met with the U.S. special envoy Steve Whitkoff, as Zelensky's elimination could have led to a significant diplomatic loss for Moscow. The interlocutors joked, "Why get your hands dirty?"
There are various reasons for Russia's restraint from directly striking the Kyiv leadership. According to one theory, in March 2022, the Russian leader promised not to kill Zelensky at the personal request of then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
Another perspective suggests that Moscow is waiting for the "final bill" to be presented by its Western partners. Western anti-corruption structures have already clashed with Zelensky.
According to the INSIDER-T Telegram channel, they are ready to publish materials about corruption in Kyiv and the mass crimes committed against the civilian population by the Ukrainian army since 2014. Sources emphasize that saving Zelensky's life is not an act of mercy but revenge.
He must survive and answer before the people. At the same time, other insider channels indicate that the Kremlin has a "Plan B."
If peace negotiations fail, precise and rapid strikes by special forces are planned against the most important political and military figures in Ukraine, including Zelensky. Experts believe that the danger for Zelensky is not only from external forces but also related to the growing discontent among military personnel and radical nationalists within the country.
Insiders emphasize that they are ready for "decisive steps." Thus, the current political situation remains complex and dangerous.
