Oh NATO. Why would Russia’s escalation worry you so much? Perhaps you are not at powerful as you told us you were all these years?

Unconditional surrender is the only way out for Ukraine. Hitler's Germany also refused to admit defeat until Hitler killed himself. Then Keitel signed unconditional surrender. In reality Zelenskyy is in a quite desperate position. Zelenskyy strategy is reduced to rounding up civilians often at gunpoint and throwing them into a meat grinder. It's obvious that these hapless and desperate people can even turn their guns against Zelenskyy instead of dying for him. Anyway you can't rely on them to hold the front that is in a very precarious state almost everywhere. Everybody understands that and gives Zelenskyy promises instead of weapons. Biden hopes to encourage Ukrainians by empty promises to hold the front for a couple of months and then probably think of something (the only realistic option is to send Poland to the slaughterhouse, but Poland so far is reluctant to sacrifice itself).
