I wonder at what point Russia goes back to the negotiating table. Given that Ukraine has a very hard red line on no territory concessions it would basically be an admission of defeat.

Ukraine now will not negotiate unless all lands are given back, including Crimea. There is basically no real room to negotiate anymore. Unless Russia can exert pressure reliably somewhere, I am not sure they have anywhere they can negotiate from. Would they allow Russia to toss some tactical nukes at Kyiv in order to force a negotiation and not end the war in a complete loss? I don't think even that at this point. Russia needs to either fully mobilize (which it probably can't at this point) or there probably isn't much left they can do. Russia wasn't prepared to fight entire NATO stockpiles.
