They may actually be moving quicker. Most of the FIRMS satellite fire detection is showing fires on the Russian side of the lines along large stretches in Kherson. I've seen many videos of different overrun Russian positions. They seem to be moving quickest from the north along the Dnipro. If they can continue their advance there they will have a good chunk of the Russian position surrounded by three sides and a shrinking frontage on the river that they could potentially ferry across.

Ukrainian leadership is doing a good job managing expectations but I think the Kherson offensive is very much going according to plan for Ukraine.

Here's a pretty neat video from Kherson of Ukrainian infantry supported by Turkish Kirpi IFVs and a tank, which engages and turret pops a Russian IFV.

Ukrainian fighting from the beginning has been a matter of small unit engagements, not large army or corps size engagements, and I think we are seeing that in Kherson as well. Ukraine is sending their most veteran SOF type troops and providing a comparatively high amount of long range fire support to enable lots of hit and run raids against rattled and undersupplied Russian troops and forcing them to retreat. Does Russia have a better fortified second line and will their troops defend it in the weeks ahead will determine if Kherson city falls before winter.
