You just find out about one liberated village, and in the next morning several more are liberated
Things are suddenly moving fast.
For context, the distance between Bakhmut and Chasov Yar took approx. one year to cover - that's 6 KM. The advance that has been made in Ocheretyno is about 6-7KM now, but it happened in about ten days.
You can also compare this to the famous Ukrainian counteroffensive, which liberated a single village over the course of 5 months at the cost of tens of thousands of men.
The effect of the Western aid package should take some weeks to be felt, so many more locations might fall.
Things are indeed moving quite a bit faster than before, but there's a long way to go. During their Khakov Counteroffensive in 2022, the Ukrainians freed something like 500 villages/towns, and 12,000 KM2. Something like that, would be very nice to see. The roles are sort of reversed now in terms of manpower.
