Practically speaking, the territories are all but lost officially, so acknowledging that means very little.

There is no point in making a bad deal to make a deal and set a precedent for future issues down the road.
We all do not know that actual status on the ground, but time is not on Russia's side it appears and a meat grinder likely works in Ukriane's favour as opposed to Putin's.
