Europe needs to tell the US to f-off and call the bluff, just invite themselves with Ukraine under their wing to their own peace-talk, and let Putin know the time and place… if Putin or his negotiators won’t show up (which is likely), then Russia obviously isn’t serious about peace so start ramping up the equipment and troop shipments to protect the front lines.
Ukraine should 110% reject ANY proposal to give the US or another foreign power ‘carte blanche’ deals for some slice of its resources in exchange for assistance; Europe needs to defend them for their own sake.
Unfortunately this would only allow putler to play the US against Europe even more than he already is. Just imagine it, him telling the US and Europe different things, and then the West starting to fight amongst themselves because they no longer know who is telling the truth.
