Ukraine is advancing as fast as it can, but it's being severely hampered by a shortage of necessary weaponry, such as fighter jets and artillery shells. Western partners need to ensure that Ukraine's stockpiles are well maintained — or they risk the prospect of the counteroffensive failing to make major gains.
Ukraine's measured advance is nothing to be concerned with. War is a slow, bloody business, and nobody should be under any illusion about the difficulty of advance. Nonetheless, Ukraine continues to make steady gains, and it's going in the right direction.
