Ukrainians reportedly have supplies to last them a year and are mass producing drones and missiles.
Since they can't rely on US anyway what leverage US has to force the deal rally ? Even Russians say that the only person interested in a peace agreement at this point is Trump.
Still, Ukrainians are on defensive and are not in a position to change that situation. Ceasefire serves them more becuase Europeans are readying support and because Ukrainian troops are exhausted and in need of rotation.
The peace deal which is on the table resembles capitulation and has no chance to pass. On the other hand, anything less than that and Russians lost million of souls for nothing. Worse, it would ensure determined, deadly and vengeful armed forces supplied with arms by EU as a constant and credible threat on the border. Russians have to break that army and turn Ukraine into subjugated territory with restricted and weak armed forces. They enthusiastically welcome US change of heart not becuase they believe it will lead to any short term solution but becuase it gives them validation and justify their actions.
