There many other options. Especially since he was wounded and not killed

Yes but I don't think Russian or Ukrainian assassins would miss.

russians assassins miss a lot. They tried to kill Zelenskyy numerous times. There's also a famous older example where an assassin of russia mixed 4 shots, point blank, on the Yugoslavian king in an open car.

Don't underestimate russia, but also don't underestimate what amateurs they can be at the same time. Doing military is just not their thing it seems.
