The conditions on the ground are not ripe for a peace agreement to be signed. The right course of action is to change the conditions on the ground. Sanctions are one element. More long-range weapons for Ukraine are another element and beefing up the Ukrainian military. Things that make life harsher for the Russian people, so they finally rise up against Putin. Footdragging by Trump has played right into Putin's hands. The delay has been very costly for Ukraine and the rest of the world. Zelenskyy's peace proposal is not far-fetched. Putin's is. Maybe a year from now the peace talks can be restarted.
