Why should Ukraine give up anything to a bunch of psychopathic thugs who have repeatedly broken ceasefires in the past and never had any valid reason for their violence?
This is as absurd as negotiating with a thief on how much they're allowed to take from your store.

Because
  1. ukr government consists of similar corrupted dictatorial thugs, rendering any real difference to people living in ukraine, of which government will reign irrelevant.
  2. last 2 years has shown that the west doesn't want to support Ukraine all the way until victory, is not motivated enough. Zelensky might have thought at the start of the war that he did have such support, but it's just not there. West is interested only in Ukraine minerals and in making sure two countries that they see as corrupt barbarians, grind each other to exhaustion. (looking at West's actions, not press releases.) In light of this the only possible positive outcome is to end the killing of people as soon as possible. Any deeper victory is not possible.

Russia's negotiation position is that Ukraine has to give up territory that Russia does not control, as well as drastically reduce the size of the Ukrainian military.
That is very much giving up something. It's straight up suicide really. Russia will obviously rearm and attack again. Just like every other time.
