A freeze in the conflict would also mean a freeze in western deliveries of military hardware. And since Russia can easily outproduce Ukraine, it would help Russia much more as after the freeze they would have the upper hand again in terms of equipment.

bolded: Russia does the same with the 4 regions they are "occupying". Neither do they occupy entirely or even any of their regional capitals, But Russia treats them as Russian territory. And not just the part they occupy, but the entire regions. So if all things are equal, If Russia can consider the entire region their own despite only occupying a part of them, then the same would apply for Ukraine, too.

Again,fundamental misunderstandings here.First of all,freeze in the conflict would NOT mean a freeze in western deliveries of military hardware.

More importantly,Kiev regime's primary supplier isn't the West.It's Soviet Union,and supplies from it are one-time.And already happened.

Finally,"upper hand AGAIN"?What?Russia held the upper hand through the entire conflict,Kiev regime just had numerical superiority while Soviet supplies lasted.

SOVIET.Not Western.Nobody cares about thirty Leopards when you need thirty of them PER BRIGADE.Which is more than production run.

Russia doesn't"treat"new regions as Russian territory,they are Russian territory by Russian constitution,which happened as a result of local plebiscites.That NOW Russia doesn't hold provincial capitols is irrelevant-it held enough territory for a plebiscite-Kiev regime never even attempted one.

Why'd you just create an account now, on this forum, of all places and times to argue about the war?
