Bledina — a noun that is used by Ukrainians to identify a russian missile. Is specifically used during air rides to warn civilians about the flying missiles across the country. Roughly can be translated into deadly ugly fucking bitch.

How was it made?

  1. Telegram channel “Huyeviy Kharkov” uses it as a term to describe air raids. Although, spelled in russian as 'blyadina' because it is a russian speaking group. Kharkiv is mostly russian speaking city, but young people tend to speak more ukranian in last few years.
  2. Ukrainian volunteers who specialize on humanitarian help created the word during their service. They were unloading the truck with baby food and found cereals from the French company 'Bledine' whilst the missile attack was announced. The company name reminded them of the ukrainian swear word literally meaning a whore.
