If Zelensky tried to “surrender” then he would be booted out by the Ukrainian people.
I live near the border and have helped Ukrainian refugees. They do not want to stop fighting as long as Putin holds Ukrainian territory.
Why?
Because they thought he would be happy after 2014 and him grabbing Crimea and a chunk of Donbas.
But he attacked Kyiv, killed thousands of Ukrainians and now they want
1. Revenge
2. To prevent him coming again in 8 years and unleashing more devastation.
Agreed. Ukrainians will never surrender. Russias crimes against humanity in Ukraine made that impossible.
There is a possible peace plan though, here is what I suggest :
1 - Russia has to surrender Crimea and Donbas back to Ukraine.
2 - Respect the signatory’s independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
3 - Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
4 - Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.
5 - Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against the signatory.
Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments.

You recognized this ?
Its the Budapest Memorandum that was violated by the Kremlin-Nazis.
I added point “1” obviously.
An extra point should be added as well : war reparations.
Discussions about how much Russia must pay to repair what they destroyed in Ukraine and helping the families of the victims. Negotiate between 1 trillion and 3 trillion dollars. Maybe exporting to Ukraine free oil for a few decades?

is ‘booted’ the polite way of saying hung or shot?
