Ukraine

Blitz

I understand headlines need to be short but I'm not comfortable with this WW2 terminology.

edit: all Ukraine subs get you downvoted into negative numbers at the slightest hint of what could be construed to be criticism against Ukraine's forces, journalists or people. I do not mean it that way. I just don't like that term because of the nazi associations I get from it, regardless of Ukraine's very justified war against Russia.

edit2: judging from your comments, for an English speaker Blitz seems to refer to any type of "lightning war", maybe even a counterattack against the Nazis, rather than something the Nazis coined if not invented. For a German speaker it's the other way round:

Mit dem für die Weltöffentlichkeit unerwartet kurzen Polenfeldzug im Jahre 1939 wurde der Begriff „Blitzkrieg“ zum Synonym für eine (vermeintlich oder tatsächlich) neue Form der Kriegführung. Der Begriff wurde erstmals 1935 in einem Artikel der Militärzeitschrift Deutsche Wehr verwendet.

With the unexpectedly short Poland campaign in 1939 for the world public, the term “lightning war” became a synonym for a (supposedly or actually) new form of warfare. The term was first used in 1935 in an article by the Military Journal Deutsche Wehr.
