Do you mean, "sue for peace"? That phrase just means to try to get a peace treaty.

They were undergoing a revolution, the country was in tatters, the people were fed up, the communists were against the war, and enough was enough.

The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was badly against the Russian interests, losing 1/3rd of their European territory but they gambled that Germany would soon lose the war anyway, and the treaty would be voided.
