Negotiate with who? Who is there to be diplomatic with?
Further, once the invasion starts, diplomacy is off the table. Diplomacy works best when you are the one wielding the threat of force. It doesn't work so well when you are trying to negotiate the withdrawal of your own military--you are the loser suing for peace. You have nothing to offer in terms of consequences if your terms are not met--and they will be ignored even if a formal agreement is reached.
