#lorenzoprotocol $BANK @Lorenzo Protocol @CoinTag The Russia-Ukraine conflict has turned into a prolonged war of attrition, and Ukraine has exchanged its resources for a 'shabby report card'.

Territory has shrunk by nearly 20%, with the four eastern regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia effectively controlled by Russia, losing 80% of its coastline, equivalent to nearly half of Ukraine.

The population has plummeted dramatically, from 43 million before the war to about 30 million now, with over 10 million fleeing abroad, and heavy casualties among young adults, making conscription on the streets a norm.

Economic sovereignty has been hollowed out, with national debt skyrocketing from over 20 billion to 230 billion USD, the foundation of agriculture and industry has collapsed, and mining rights have been taken by the U.S. in exchange for rare earths, leaving future generations to repay the debt.

Diplomacy has become a supporting role, with NATO membership requests rejected and peace negotiations directly dictated by the U.S. and Russia, as Zelensky transitioned from a hero resisting Russia to the main course on the menu.

Behind the battlefield dividends for Russia is also a situation of overextension, but land and resources grant it a future.

Territory has been secured, not only consolidating Crimea but also incorporating the four eastern regions into Russia, effectively controlling 120,000 square kilometers of land and key resources.
