No. Russia will never give up access to the Black Sea. It's strategically critical and there is no way in hell they will give it up. Obama knew that and sat back while they took it.
I doubt they'll walk away from Donbass. The claim they are saving Russian people there (which may have a small grain of truth in it) is one of their moral justifications for the invasion. They can't just walk away without looking incredibly weak. Also, the US foolishly claiming (under Biden) that Ukraine will get into NATO is another major issue after there were promises not to do so.
Ukraine can't even fight the war without US support. But due to Zelensky's idiocy, that's over. It's time they see reality and move towards peace.
