    But that begs an interesting question - when is the right moment to bail and what makes it right compared to right now?

      I'm guessing he'll want to make his escape as close to the end as possible, because otherwise it would create a power vacuum for somebody else to step in. He has to be seen to be in charge until the last moment.

        Seems very plausible. Though this again poses a question - why is creating a power vacuum something he should care about at all? I mean, at that point he's packing his shit and running for his life. Whatever the Americans decide to do with him afterwards - shelter him or get rid of him - depends entirely on their decision.

          He cares about his western sponsors continuing to fund him. If he bails now and a new government forms, then he becomes a nobody overnight. If he flees at the last moment, then the west will claim that the new government installed by Russia is illegitimate, and Zelensky is the true king of Ukraine.
