Figured the Ukraine would have given up by now, but apparently they still enjoy the meat grinder. That said it has been interesting watching the Russians display the new land warfare doctrine of the 21st century.
The other interesting consideration is whether Zelenzkys leash holders are demanding he try for terms or if he's acting of his own accord. From the past year it's fairly apparent that the proverbial they absolutely own his ass, so one would assume that he's still on their strings.
If so, then one wonders what new nonsense they'll move on to after this.

Apart from the Azov types, the people doing the fighting aren't the ones who will lose out if Ukraine surrenders. Russia can't just hang the revolutionaries and re-install the democratically elected president they ousted eight years ago, but if they did that would be a problem for the revolutionaries, not the majority who voted for the other guy.
Of course normal people will lose. Their homes are occupied, their families are displaced or even deported to Russia.
Yanukovych has 0.0% public support even in the Peoples Republics. Don't forget how he abandoned even his own hardcore supporters when he suddenly vanished, secretly fleeing the country entirely in the middle of night with stolen money, never leaving his refuge somewhere in Moscow to this very day. Now he is hated in Ukraine more than Putin, because just everyone hates him. The man who unites everybody over all divisions. Everyone would shoot him on the spot immediately, and everyone else would celebrate it. The only ones in the country who don't hate him are Russian regulars, who just don't care.
