There's zero indication that Ukraine or its people are looking to negotiate to give away their land.

You could be right, though I disagree only because I think the US has realized that destabilizing Russia and EU industry at the same time is a big benefit for them, and they will absolutely play it to that affect.
It amazes me how people don't see that, and think that if you look at it that way, and look ahead into the future on potential outcomes to this conflict, that it is 'muddying the water' to suggest that things won't go like everyone thinks they will.
