Not sure exactly what that group of military leaders see, considering all the other situations which the Russian military invaded
For the record, I'm not sure if negotiations are in any way a realistic or reasonable option, but I do see the logic.

This war is not going to be over soon with the way Russia is willing to throw people into the grinder, it has a lot of potential to get a lot uglier, there is a risk of escalation, and a purely military victory for Ukraine is impossible because you can't push the Russians further than their own border, and that's not enough to force them to stop.

I'm not saying that to suggest Ukraine should negotiate. It's after all easy for military staff to look at the situation from another continent and suggest that Ukraine should just give up their people and land.
