There’s more to it than that - what he is offering in exchange for him stepping down will guarantee that Russia will stop fucking them. Acceptance into NATO would have stopped Russian aggression from the start. He’s been asking for it almost from the beginning for exactly this reason. I don’t believe it will happen, so I don’t believe he will be stepping down. My opinion is that it’s one of that the statement was meant more defiantly and deliberately: I will step down if and when I can be assured of future peace for my country.
