How can Ukraine prevent the Russian invasion?
This question has been on the agenda for nearly 3 years.
Kiev has tried almost everything.
Tanks, armored vehicles, air defense systems, weapons, grenades and even fighter jets have arrived from the West.
The Ukrainian army used all these resources to try to stop the invasion by Russian forces.
These attempts, of course, did not end the war completely, but now Russia is in a position to ask even North Korea for troops.
The casualty figures of the Russian army exceeded 700 thousand.
Tank losses are over 3,000.
Now Ukraine aims to throw the last punch.
With the development of technology, Ukrainians are aware that the key to the solution is less costly air defense systems and much newer inventions.
The Kiev regime is also looking to push its military spending in this direction.
In recent days, there has even been talk that the Ukrainians have designed a system that can destroy Russian missiles and drones at almost zero cost.
So what is this system?
What trump card are Ukrainian forces planning to bring to the front lines to end this war?

European stocks fell, decline tracking in Asia as investors trimmed positions amid uncertainty heading into year-end.
Elon Musk is using his political influence, including his role as an adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, to negotiate with governments and secure investments for his companies.
The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won't find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game.
Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) speaks to CNN's Dana Bash about his experience during the January 6 attack on the Capitol and his belief that President-elect Donald Trump has already rewritten history about that day.
Since joining ServiceNow in late 2019, Bill McDermott has been laser-focused on AI, driving his vision to position the company as "the AI platform for business transformation."
This isn't just an attempt to capitalize on a trend; ServiceNow has been working towards this goal for some time.
"We were building large language models with Jensen Huang and Nvidia more than five years ago," Bill McDermott told CNBC's Christine Tan on the latest episode of Managing Asia.
With AI the topic du jour, there are a lot of businesses vying for attention in the space. However, McDermott believes ServiceNow is "not actually competing with them."
"If you think about the marketplace today, it's largely built on companies that are 50 plus years old. And those systems of record, they're good. But they were built in silos: finance, HR, sales. We have a platform that pans and spans all of them, because we integrate with them," he explained.

Nuclear energy emerged as a focal point of discussion in 2024. To provide corporate insight on this growing trend, Radiant Energy Group managing director Mark Nelson joined Brad Smith and Josh Lipton on Morning Brief.
Nelson reflects on the evolution of nuclear energy's prominence, noting that, while 2023 saw increased interest from tech companies, 2024 was "like the whole world discovered nuclear." He explains that the intersection of artificial intelligence and energy requirements led to a realization that "the tech players didn't have a realistic energy-growth strategy," creating an opening for nuclear energy.
However, he cautions that despite numerous "commitments" from major companies this year, 2025 "will be the year of 'show me.'"
"I think what's become clear is that the top executives of these companies were sort of blindsided by the energy problem, and they're scrambling to learn as much about energy as quickly possible," Nelson tells Yahoo Finance. While noting that "nuclear is a special form of energy," he remains optimistic about infrastructure development in 2025, stating that "the noise is all in the right direction."
Nelson also comments on President-elect Donald Trump's Department of Energy leadership nomination of Chris Wright, saying, "I've heard nothing but good things." He adds, "When I see Chris Wright coming in, I see somebody who loves what he's heard from the nuclear story, and his job at the Department of Energy will be to see how he can continue the momentum."
Tech leaders are exploring nuclear power as a solution to the massive energy needs of their data centers, sustainability challenges, and the growing demands of their AI initiatives. SMRs, a new type of nuclear reactor, are gaining attention for their ability to provide round-the-clock power with minimal emissions.
As some of the largest energy users, major tech companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Meta are investing in these reactors, which could play a key role in global energy transformation.
