One article in the newspapers doesn't mean that the Western establishment is getting sick of Zelensky. Europe sees Ukraine as a sort of a wall against Russia.
Besides, even if Zelensky leaves doesn't mean that Ukraine would stop fighting for their freedom under the new president.

No shit, Sherlock, because it’s not a “peace deal,” it’s capitulation deal. One of conditions include recognizing Russian as the official state language in Ukraine.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
