How do you know

Either Zelensky isn't really in Ukraine, cuz they could easily kill him if he was, or the war is fake and Russia won't kill him because they want the proxy war to keep going.

I suspect the footage coming from Kiev at the beginning of the war with Zelensky walking over town squares was fake (meaning either prerecorded or deepfaked), because it would be incredibly stupid to have done so. If it would be real footage, people would have grabbed their phones and record him, because who doesn't grab their phone when the leader of your country is in the streets?

Now, perhaps I just missed these phone recordings, but I doubt they exist (unless also faked, obviously). If Zelensky is safe and sound in the UK or France, that would be the best course of action.

I don't think it would be "easy" to kill him now, because air defense systems work good enough when they need to cover a small area. At the beginning of the war without a real front-line, that was different.

Somethings fake, you think he's safe cuz of air defenses but they also put out the fake news about a missile almost hitting him. If they'd say he's in a bunker at all times I could buy it.
