I think his behavior was probably too much. I am sure that there were talks privately, but I am just fed up with the war. There are facts on both sides...but I think he talked about the wrong things when you want to negotiate a deal to end the war.

I see that Zelensky only wants the war to end in victory for the Ukraine, and this simply isn't possible. Clearly massive corruption is ongoing, with war materiel provided to the Ukraine having ended up in the possession of Mexican cartels. Zelensky himself has bought a ~40M dollar mansion in Miami, and another property in Egypt, at least. He can't defraud a peace. Only the war enables his corrupt fraud to profit him many millions of dollars. For these reasons Zelensky does not want peace, regardless of the cost to the Ukraine or it's people.
Yes, that is what Zelensky wants, but we all know that isn't possible. I don't think they will no matter how much money is thrown there. I don't think Russia is in the right for everything either as there are plenty of things that Putin has done badly, but the deal was the way out of the war. Now that Zelensky is getting funded by the EU, I expect the war to continue, but at least it won't cost the US taxpayers anymore.
I see massive leverage that Trump can bring to bear to cause the EU to back down, because the EU has couped it's member states and threatened to coup more, including Germany and France, which together with the other injured states, have the power to reform the EU and force it to accept peace. Romania, Hungary, and Poland all had clay carved out of them added to the Ukraine, and offering those states their native clay back if they back peace, when they have either been couped by the EU, or have been threatened, I see great consensus potential to an alliance for peace in the Ukraine that is nominal to rein in the faction in the EU profiteering from the war.
Whether that develops in the negotiations or not, I cannot say.
