Russia’s Security Council reportedly lifted an unofficial ban on killing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his top generals during a high-stakes meeting with strongman Vladimir Putin, according to several pro-Kremlin news outlets.
Kyiv’s repeated raids on Russia’s oil export hub on the Baltic Sea, including the 10th recent blow to the critical port of Ust-Luga in the St. Petersburg area proved the catalyst for the decision, Blokot reported.

Officials reportedly said they could use heavy hypersonic weapons to target bunkers and motorcades carrying Ukrainian leaders and top army commanders.

The Kremlin tried to take out Zelensky in the early stages of the war in 2022, but those attempts ended sometime the following year when Putin promised through mediators to stop.
The security meeting came immediately after Putin’s two-hour conversation with US special envoys Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Its interesting that the decision was made after meeting with Witkoff and Kushner.
I'm sure the usual suspects will be spamming with fairies (spelling intended) tales.
Putin had hunter/killer teams looking for the president at the beginning of the invasion, I guess they had given up on it for a while.
But if I had heard of it before, I would not have believed it.
They’ll be betting on his life expectancy in the UK.
My Brit friends bet on just about everything.
I wished the US could claim the high ground on this, but someone would point to Ngo Dinh Diem, maybe even Manuel Noriega even though technically he wasn’t killed. Our (US) hands aren’t clean.
Why on earth would Vlad want to kill Zel?
This could lead to all-out war, including nukes. Sadly, nuking the planet may be the only way we halt the advance of the leftist/islamic agenda worldwide. I really don’t want to be around when the country fully surrenders away from The Constitution.
Too bad Russia didn’t just try to interfere with the election in Ukraine. Isn’t that their preferred method for regime change? /s
Why now?
One empty-payload Mach 10 Oreshnik ought to do the job.
” ...strongman Vladimir Putin ...”
No NYPost bias there, no siree ..
There have been no electios to interfere in.
What you said is how I interpreted the /s tag on Bernard’s post.
I knew this would make a lot of Freepers happy.
This could lead to all-out war, including nukes
Between which nations?
Too bad Russia didn’t just try to interfere with the election in Ukraine. Isn’t that their preferred method for regime change?
The Z openly campaigned for the Democrats and against the GOP / Trump in the last two elections.
Problem solved.
Nope. Oreshnik only penetrates to 2 meters.
Independent Assessments and Field Evidence
• Measured Impact Craters. Following a May 2026 Oreshnik strike on Bila Tserkva, Ukrainian defense outlet Defense Express reported that field inspections of the impact sites in ordinary soil measured craters only up to 2 meters deep and 3 meters wide.
• Physics Limitations. Defense analysts note that extreme hypersonic re-entry speeds (around Mach 10 to 11) often limit physical ground penetration rather than increase it. Consensus among users on Reddit's r/LessCredibleDefence highlights that optimal bunker-busting penetration typically occurs around Mach 2.5 to Mach 3, because impacting at extreme hypersonic speeds causes lightweight submunitions to vaporize or deform upon hitting the ground.
• Warhead Mass. Because the Oreshnik splits its roughly 1.3-to-1.5-ton payload into six warheads (and up to 36 smaller submunitions), each individual kinetic projectile lacks the mass and structural density of dedicated bunker busters like the 14-ton American GBU-57.
Then your hero has nothing to worry about, does he?
