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.
Well fortunately for the long term stability of that whole area, word has it that the paradoxical unit of Jewish neo Nazis are mostly dead or captured at this point.
Azov (the unit) has more members than ever, and is now a brigade of several battalions.
The Azov civilian (paramilitary) movement has tens of thousands of members.
Which is not new, because they did have tens of thousands of members (over 20,000) even before the invasion, but now they're just swelled with the new ones. And in the early days of panic massive numbers of normally apolitical civilians came to be basic trained by them (and by their RS rivals too) and got politically indoctrinated into "Social Nationalism" along the way.
They absorbed the Azov's Freikorps militias into regular units while at it. Did the same to much of the RS Volunteer Corps too.

Reconstituting a destroyed unit is a simple matter of paperwork. The guys who conducted the coup are nearly all dead, and good riddance.
