Certainly, meeting Russia's demands would be tantamount to capitulation for Zelensky and Ukraine. However, given Ukraine's growing military power and economy, there is no acceptable way out.
Zelensky, as president, is obligated to protect the lives of the people, not the territories.
Everyone who supports Zelensky initially understood the impossibility of Russia's victory on the battlefield. The calculation was based on a black swan event, such as a coup, terrorist attacks, or the division of the country into nation-states... It didn't work. America understands this and is minimizing losses. Eventually, they will also abandon Taiwan, having extracted as much technology and talent as possible...
America does not need military conflicts, especially foreign ones!
Zelensky continues the war to the detriment of his country and his people. Previous peace proposals from Russia, which he rejected, were much milder in terms of demands. Of course, Russia will take whatever it wants by military means, so the only way to avoid losing the country and its demographics is through negotiations and concessions!

Omo... I get you now.
Hopefully, the two would be able to come to a ceasefire long enough to negotiate. It's time Zelensky starts focusing on the people and not the resources, because enough have died already.
