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).
It’s liberal brain rot to rip everything out of context and just assume each concept is a perfectly impenetrable frictionless sphere that exists in the realm of forms.
The real reason for the comparison, however, is to allude to the way the USSR marched to Berlin, liberating most of Europe from the Nazis, defeating 80% of the Nazi forces, and did so through superior supply chains, superior manufacturing, and superior grand strategy (not just battlefield but also social, political, and economic), which creates the spectre of Russia continuing to expand Westward, which creates the case for expanding NATO funding, putting all of Europe on austerity and a war footing, and getting the Americans to show up and fight the Boogeyman.

Anybody with a functioning brain understood that Ukraine could not win this war long before it started. Obama said this plainly back in 2016:
Seems like a reasonable thing to imply.
Exactly. If they’d gone on the offensive you could make a similar headline:
Ukraine’s military is shifting to an offensive strategy against Russia that failed Nazi Germany in WWII
