Russia isn’t negotiating in good faith. They find reasons to start/stop negotiations, they propose ceasefires while continuing to attack, etc. Basically they feel that time is on their side and they won’t have much to lose unless they are presented with real stakes. Difficult to do since neither the US or Europe wants a direct “hot” war with Russia, and meanwhile Putin doesn’t value human life. If he has to throw a couple hundred thousand more conscripts into the meatgrinder, that doesn’t bother him in the slightest.
