A Russian channel gives 3 reasons why Russian forces are retreating in Kherson:
1) A lack of rotation/exhaustion (he mentions the 126th Coastal Defense Brigade)
2) Because of a lack of infantry, Russian forces stay in strongpoints in towns. Ukrainian forces push between them.

He says Ukraine conducted reconnaissance and found the weak spots in the lines and that Russia didn't have the mobile reserves to plug the holes. He also says that the weather prevented air support and neither side used artillery particularly heavily.
3) He says Ukrainian units painted "V" and "Z" markers on their vehicles which confused Russian forces. He suggests this means Ukraine has a C2/tracking system in all of their vehicles.
