As a functional state, Ukraine is dead. It's already over. It has no economy and the worst demographics in the entire world. Beyond this war, there is no Ukraine - it would be a black hole sucking infinite amounts of EU money, money that the EU doesn't have, money that the EU can only generate by engaging in military-industrial trickery and printing money, and this only really works if there's a war.

The Ukrainian state is, for all intents and purposes, a EU-run private military company with some civil staff. It will never be able to have an independent economy again and the second it ends mobilization and opens its borders, a huge fraction of its remaining population (that is approximately half of what they claim officially) will just leave immediately.

This is why Kiev and its patrons are not interested in any sort of "peace" - they want a ceasefire to improve their position, and then continue or even expand the war. Peace is only possible by grinding the rest of the AFU into paste and securing strategic positioning that would make an expansion of the war untenable for the Western powers.
