Exactly.

There really is nothing to negotiate anyway.

Ukraine does not want to give up territory.

Giving Russia anything for it is tatamount to paying a ransom. It would only encourage Russia to invade again in a decade or less.

Russia turning around and giving up the territory without gaining anything is just accepting complete defeat. They won’t do that.

So it’s a battle of attrition, both morale and economic.
