Why would they need to surrender though? The counteroffensive by the ukies has completely stalled and even more damning is that while they have taken some outlying villages they still haven't even hit the first main defense lines.
They have nothing to gain from surrendering, and if Crimea is the lynchpin for peace they will never ever give it up.
You are right there, but I don't see them taking that path anytime soon especially if that's what they need to give up. Honestly they might as well go all in at this point.
