Unspoken in this game of bargaining for future strategic military advantage is how Putin is trying to save face from his horrifically miscalculated and gone sideways three day "Special Military Operation". He's already been militarily and personally humiliated by his failures to execute his anticipated total takeover of Ukraine.
So the only way from him to come out of this with some bruised pride while maintaining the respect (fear) he's instilled on his subjects so as to keep himself from going the way of Hitler, Mussolini, Hussein, Gaddafi and Nicolae what's his face from Romania et al is to get himself as much Ukrainian sovereign territory as possible before he runs out of mobik meat and petroleum products.
