There is plenty of chance, and you can see it in Russian propagators like you on internet, who are trying desperately to discredit Zelensky supposedly because they care about the Ukrainians. You even portray Putin as someone who cares about Ukrainians although he is killing them.
Indeed, Ukrainians have started to inflict serious damage on the Russian infrastructure that Putin is shitting himself.
The other thing is that Ukrainians have already tried giving Putin land, but he just wants more, and he wants the whole Ukraine. So don't blame Zelensky or Ukraine for not being able to make a deal with a guy with whom no one can make a deal. Putin has already promised not to change the russian constitution, not to stay in power after 2008, not to annex Ukraine's Crimea, not to attack Ukraine in 2014, not to attack Ukraine in 2022, and etc. So one would have to be insane or a liar to claim that his next promise will be kept. So if Russia wants to make a deal and be taken seriously, they should get rid of Putin first.
Not to mention that Ukrainians already tried living under the Russian rule but the Russians kept starving them, so they are not crazy enough to repeat it. Google "Holodomor famine"
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
