Life in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine has changed

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine four months ago, getting information about life in the regions Russian forces have occupied has become increasingly difficult.
Russia's invasion ended access to Ukrainian products, but those produced in Russia are expensive and take time to arrive, and Russia is phasing out Ukraine's currency in favour of its own roubles, which are not always easy for Ukrainians to access.
Large protests against the occupation in the initial stages after the invasion are now rare but a resistance movement is beginning to appear.

And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."

When you have a vastly superior adversary, you spread hidden weapons and explosives caches all over your territory and let the adversary come in. Then, you engage in a protracted resistance war until the adversary leaves. What you don't do is what Ukraine is currently doing, fighting hopeless battles where your best troops are killed and your cities reduced to rubble.
