Here's what I said elsewhere about that particular comment of Hesgeth'. Not Vance's, as in the post you're replying to I confused the two. That was my mistake (edited to correct it).
I'm not a big fan of outsiders telling an independent country that it has to make territorial concessions for the greater good, and I'm sure everyone can imagine why. Especially not when it's concessions to Moscow. Having said that, it's very possible that for practical purposes, it's impossible for Ukraine to fully regain its pre-2014 borders. On the other hand, I can absolutely see why Ukrainians might not want to make the post-2014 borders official, instead of just a frozen status quo.
The rest of the comment is here (2 parts), and I address the issue of invaders and peace deals.
