That's the reason they're rejecting it. From the article:

“Barring a Ukrainian demand signal” for peace talks, “there’s unlikely to be a push from Washington,” he said.

Is anybody actually so naive as to believe that Ukraine has any say in this?

Key points:

60% want to keep fighting until victory (which >90% define as everything including Crimea liberated) -- down from 70% about a year ago
Zelensky's approval rating is >80%

So not only Ukraine but ukrainians seem to agree with White House's assessment.

That's back from October last year, a lot has happened since then such as massive failure of the Ukrainian offensive. However, what Ukrainians want is entirely beside the point. US makes the decisions.
