US President Donald Trump's special envoy Jared Kushner has said that the only thing missing for an agreement to end the war is Ukraine's consent to give up its territories within the boundaries demanded by Russian ruler Vladimir Putin.
...
"President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that. And obviously, our job as the mediators [is] to figure out how can we come up with a creative solution that doesn't violate their desires and that helps them achieve their objective, and does in a way that we can get Russia to end the conflict in a way that hopefully allows both parties to move forward in a framework where this doesn't happen again."
Here's a wild idea: Russia, the aggressor nation, can withdraw to its internationally-recognized border. Of course Ukraine doesn't want to give up territory, particularly at the behest of two men who are pretty much operating as Russian assets. Witkoff and Kushner likely have eyes on development projects in Russia, but those won't go forward with a war on. So they want it to end, on any terms that they can finagle.
Add to this is the fact that Kusher is just not that bright. He's gotten everywhere he's been on family connections, not talent. That was true when his dad bribed Harvard to let him in and when he used his connections to Trump to wheedle billions out of the Gulf-State Oil Arabs.

Kushner's epitaph; "A traitor who collaborates with the enemy." AKA Quisling jr.
Fergus wants Ukraine to stop bombing Russian energy infrastructure because it's driving up the price of diesel. He's got nothing coming and should have perhaps thought about that before he attacked Iran, and definitely before he withdrew support from Ukraine.
