Totally. I am not saying that Ukraine shouldn't accept the demands, but with all the blood they already paid, I sure hope it is their decision and not pressures from the West because they don't want to deal with it any more. I was saying before the invasion that NATO and Russia should have forced neutrality on Ukraine in exchange for mutually assured security.
The demands pretty much just put everything back as it was (with some territory lost). It would be really sad for all the people who lost loved ones just to see no positive changes to their security or autonomy. Ukrainians will fight until the end if they have the support, so the only way those demands are agreed to, is if the West threatens to appease Russia themselves. It won't be the Ukrainians deciding it unless support gets scaled back, based on what we have seen so far.
