Not so much copium as projection. Ukraine's sole strategy now is to cling to as much territory as possible in hopes of getting a more favorable negotiation position. Which is why they assume that Russia wants the same, but nothing in how the Russians have approached this conflict so far indicates that they operate this way.

True, and since Ukraine's forces are on the brink of exhaustion, they'd love to believe the same is true of Russia's.
