Why hasn't Russia decapitated the head of state with its hypersonic missiles?
As soon as he is killed, use of nuclear weapons are no longer feasible. You can't claim Ukraine refused to surrender unconditionally, a warlord would not count. Imagine killing the Emperor of Japan with a missile strike, who would show up to sign Russian surrender terms.
The U.S. would have killed the leader immediately, than gay pranced around as being victorious. Another scenario is Zelenskyy dies, NATO could enter the country claiming it needs to stabilize, help transition to another leader. There is no authority in power to tell NATO to leave, their presence is not wanted, now Russia is in a Syrian type conflict with the U.S. competing to bring into power various factions.
