⚡️ Institute for the Study of War: Russian forces try to advance on Lysychansk to avoid crossing Siversky Donets River.

According to the U.S. think tank, Russian forces have also made “incremental advances” north of Sloviansk and Avdiivka, Donetsk Oblast, with “limited success.”

Supporting Effort #2Southern Axis (Objective: Defend Kherson and Zaporozhia Oblasts against Ukrainian counterattacks)

Ukrainian forces continued to threaten Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) in northeastern Kherson Oblast, despite Russian forces restricting further Ukrainian counteroffensives on May 31 and June 1. The Ukrainian Southern Operational Command reported that Russian forces destroyed bridges over the Inhulets River in Davydiv Brid, an operationally significant settlement located on the Russian-controlled T2205 highway.[23] Russian forces likely destroyed bridges in an effort to hinder Ukrainian efforts to reach Davydiv Brid on May 31.[24] Ukrainian forces can likely still disrupt Russian forces' ability to use the highway as a main supply route if they remain just on the other side of the river, which is less than a kilometer from the road and therefore within range of many tactical systems. Disruption of the T2205 as a primary GLOC could undermine Russian defenses against Ukrainian counteroffensives on the northern Kherson-Mykolaiv Oblast border. Russian forces have also destroyed another bridge just north of Davydiv Brid and intensified artillery fire in northern Kherson, likely in anticipation of continued Ukrainian counterattacks.[25] Russian forces also unsuccessfully attempted to reconnoiter by battle Ukrainian positions on the Mykolaiv-Kherson Oblast on June 1.[26]

Russian forces continued to fortify positions across southern Ukraine in an effort to establish permanent control over occupied territories. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces did not conduct any offensive operations in Zaporizhia Oblast, instead executing engineering work for the second lines of defense.[27] The Ukrainian General Staff added that Russian forces transferred likely one T-62 tank battalion and one motorized rifle battalion to Vasylivka, approximately 50km south of Zaporizhia City. ISW has previously reported on an increase in Russian military presence and fortifications east of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP).[28]

If they are smart, they'll use drones to hunt for enemy artillery they can outrange or any depot or supply site or staging area they can reach, then run forward, shoot, and withdraw out of counterbattery range of known enemy systems in the area. Not shoot and scoot sideways to stay in range, but closer up to hit critical targets thought to be out of reach, then back safely out of range, using these critical pieces of artillery.

Pretty frightening/sobering if true. It does sound however that the "demoralized" troops are predominately the territorial defense units and the more professional troops are getting better arms and support. Thankfully, the Russians are having the same problems.
