Putin is the commander-in-chief of the Russian military, so yes.
I think he and Zelensky have an unwritten agreement not to target each other though.
It's not that they have an unwritten agreement, but more of a fact that these kinds of political assassinations open up a whole can of worms. From Russian perspective there's little value in removing Zelensky since he'd just be replaced with another puppet like Zaluzhny who might even end up being more competent.
Idk it's been working fine for Israeli.
Difference is that Israel is doing that in Iran, and if Iran responded in kind then it would provide the excuse for the US to start a war. If Israel tried doing assassinations in Russia, you can bet Russia would respond in kind.
We'll see about that in the coming days I guess
The agreement is purely one sided. Putin could take out Zelensky any time he wanted. He doesn't because there is nothing to be gained, Zelensky is a joke, a clown. The same doesn't apply the other way. The Kiev Nazis absolutely would kill Putin if they could. They are death cult lunatics who are just itching to trigger a nuclear war if it means "sticking it to the Russians".
Putin doesnt need to kill zelensky, that man is a destined for a shallow ditch anyway, in fact if he would die then ukraine would be run by azov themselves and that would mean that the entire ukraine has to be occupied.
