The point is that Zelenskyy has undertaken a great deal of stress during this trying time, as many Ukrainians have. The exhaustion written on his face is saddening, because it reflects the weight of the troubles assailing Ukraine, but it also shows that he is a great man, undertaking these burdens when lesser men would have fled or given up.

I am suspecting that before the spectacle they likely were trying to bribe him to just let Russia win and he didn't do it, so they used this to beater him and switch sides.

I’m not well informed regarding Ukrainian leadership, but what I do know is that there were men who would have taken the money and do what papa putin says. That’s the difference between Zelensky and the others: he was not open to take money.

(I’m not saying everyone else of previous leadership was corrupt.)

So yeas you’re right, they tried to bribe him :)
