Ukraine could always say, “Nah bro, we’re good. Thanks, but no thanks,” to any unfavorable deal that gave away huge swaths of land to Putin. But would they?
I'm afraid that your interpretation may be correct: That regardless of having just assured the leaders of the EU and UK that he would not talk about territory concessions with Putin, he will do so anyway, perhaps leading to a "deal" that he will attempt to blackmail Ukraine into accepting. However there still remains the matter of Ukraine's constitution, which prohibits conceding land to Russia. Then of course Putin will insist that Ukraine accept his original demands as a precondition for only a ceasefire, not an end to the war. So in the end the only "deal" that will be seriously discussed will be the lifting of sanctions in return for a handshake over future trade deals, and a Trump Tower in Moscow.
Both of these two psychopaths want Zelenskyy gone, so elections can be manipulated to replace him with a collaborationist government like existed before Maidan revolution. Expect the two sick old men to call for elections. Ukraine is Europe’s shield. DeGaulle was right all those years ago: the EU has to form it own defense pact free of US interference as, to our National shame, we have gone into what seems like terminal decline as a force for good in the world. Now is the time to lean on the weaker party, Russia, which is reduced to grabbing small patches of devastated farmland at great cost and terror bombing civilians.
