As to this plan from NATO that Ukraine cede territory in exchange for membership.

What the West doesn't consider is the Russian point of view and position of strength. Russia is not looking for empire or land in this war, it is looking to its security and protection of ethnic Russians in Donbas region. In other words, even though this was NATO's next step, the point of Russia's entry into an overt military operstion is to ensure that Ukraine cannot join NATO.
The proof of this is that Putin has said he has no objection to Ukraine joining the EU, if it so wishes, and indeed he will help it, but what Russia will not accept is a Nasty regime, a NATO occupation or nuclear weapons on his doorstep 250 kms from Moscow.
