honestly I don't think he will be around in 2026
Well, Putin and some others have already pondered out loud the possibility that Zelensky might try to kill Trump.
Zelensky has massive and powerful intelligence assets at his disposal. They don't shirk away from killing the daughters of Russian philosophers, or using unsuspecting truck drivers as suicide bombers for the Kerch bridge.
They have sent special forces to resist Russian influence in Mali, the Central African Republic, and Niger.
There's probably a few million Ukrainians living in the United States. Some of them might be upset enough, that they could be a willing aid to Ukraine's special services.
Zelensky is fighting for his life. If he thinks he's backed into a corner, he may very well try to remove the President which creates problems for him.
