That is such a trash headline. The effectiveness of different strategies change depending on the equipment, the chain of command, the conditions of the conflict, and so on and so on and so on. What is its purpose other than to draw a comparison between Ukraine and the nazis?

The second purpose is to imply that the war is a futile struggle for Ukraine - and further foment anger that it is being funded by “our government” (in the case of most English speaking nations providing funds to them).

Anybody with a functioning brain understood that Ukraine could not win this war long before it started. Obama said this plainly back in 2016:

Obama declares Ukraine to be not a core American interest and that he is reluctant to intervene in the country, because Russia will always be able to maintain escalatory dominance there. “The fact is that Ukraine, which is a non-NATO country, is going to be vulnerable to military domination by Russia no matter what we do.”

Seems like a reasonable thing to imply.
