That offer still presumes that Putin is a rational actor. The continued maximalist goals pushed for in the war suggest either he is not, or he genuinely is under the impression that he can win the war (which, then, must be refuted decisively in order to bring him to any sort of serious negotiating table).

Furthermore, Russia's previous actions towards Ukraine under Putin put into question whether any obligations saddled on Russia will be used as anything except a trojan horse for further attacks.
