Not a chance can you send that message on either issue

Yeah, definitely a tough decision. Wouldn't blame Ukraine for fighting on. However, you have to realize that "the message" sent on either issue contains tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives, so a much heavier decision for them than any outsider.
If Ukraine believes that the outcome will eventually resemble what Russia proposed, except with an exceptionally bloody path there, taking it or something close to it makes sense.
