Putin is uncowed, clearly. It's hard to know what the truth of things is. It's clear he's on his back heels in Ukraine and at home, but perhaps he still holds a strong position.

Who knows how these hits happen? Maybe the artist had a green light for a while but they hadn't been able to get a good opportunity. Do they operate like military or gangsters? I have a hard time telling the difference sometimes.

Are there mercenaries all over the world willing to kill for money from the various superpowers?

Or is it a more direct operation planned and executed in one sequence by intelligence members?

I agree with your points, but I would prefer a world where Putin would say "call this off, it's too risky given the enmity we've fostered."
