Well for one, Ukraine's Constitution doesn't allow for the giving up of territory so to negotiate it away would mean going against that. More importantly though, why should Ukraine give up on the return of their territory, even if it takes years to achieve?
To do so would just be rewarding the criminal attacks of Russia and would encourage them to attack again. It would also disrespect those who did fight and die.
Right now the cards held/negotiating position of Ukraine is that they aren't giving up and are bleeding Russia. They have the support of much of the Western world and are helping prevent Russia from other attacks. If they were to simply give up then within a matter of months, nobody in the world would care about them. Therefore by continuing to fight they remain relevant.
And do you really think Russia under Putin would negotiate fairly anyway? So what does Ukraine have to lose by staying committed?
Oh he cares since it both hurts immediately - one cannot lose roughly a third of ones capability and simply shrug it off. It hurst both militarily and reputation wise. These bombers have also been used to carry out direct attacks on Ukraine.

If the Ukrainians can drop a bomb on a road bridge with trucks blocked in both directions then they will create even more havoc
