How to use advancing in a sentence?

1. Thomas Bullock:

   Ukraine's tactic of targeting supply lines has worked well, especially during the first five to 10 days of the war. This was partially down to Ukrainian tactics and partially down to how Russia was operating, during the first couple of days of the war, Russian forces appear to have prioritized rushing forward to secure objectives quickly. This means they weren't advancing as a coherent front line, securing territory as they go. This effectively allowed Ukrainian forces to slip behind Russia's advanced mechanized units and attack logistics columns traveling on unsecured roads in the rear.
