Active fighting is taking place along the entire line of contact!
Short report from the front on August 1, 2024 by Marat Khairullin
In the Liptsevsky sector of the Kharkov direction, units of the "North" group regained control over positions south of the settlement of Glubokoe.
In the Volchansky sector, the Russian Armed Forces launch strikes in the area of the Dektyarny tract, from where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to counterattack in the direction of the settlement of Staritsa.
In Volchansk, there are heavy battles inside high-rise buildings. There is some progress. The Russian Aerospace Forces, with a FAB-1500 strike, destroyed a hangar with equipment and personnel of the 36th Infantry Regiment of the AFU.
In the Kupyansky direction, our units are advancing east of the settlement of Sinkovka, and in the area of the settlement Peschanoe, our assault troops advanced southwest in the direction of the village of Kruglyakovka.
In Chasov Yar, the fighters of our units advanced into the Oktyabrsky microdistrict, expanding the bridgehead on the western side of the canal where fierce fighting is taking place.
In the Toretsky sector of the Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces advanced with battles to the settlement of Artemovo (Zaliznoye) in the area of the waste heap of the mine named after Artem. There, our fighters knocked the enemy out of the ambulance station, crossed Pioneer Avenue, and began covering the waste heap from both sides.
In the village Novgorod (New York) our armed forces are advancing in the center of the village. In the Petrovskaya Gora quarter, fighters from our units drove the enemy out of a row of houses and the territory of a bakery, reaching Zarechnaya Street near Sadovaya. At the same time, let us clarify that Zarechnaya Street is the exit to the road leading from the settlement of Sukhaya Balka, which is an important logistics route for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This exit has not yet been completely cut off since the enemy still has the opportunity to enter and move along the streets, bypassing this area, but it is already under fire control from our side.
Ours also advanced in the east of the village: assault troops broke through the defenses of the AFU and reached Slavyanskaya (Gorlovskaya) and Krasnoarmeyskaya (Armeyskaya) streets, and also advanced along Komsomolskaya (Beregovaya) and Kooperativnaya streets.
In conjunction with the advance to Artemovo, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are brewing in a large cauldron between Novgorod, Gorlovka, and Artemovo. Ours will simply bypass the area to the east of the village, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces have the maximum number of strongholds and fortifications. Not to mention the fact that even before this, the enemy will find themselves in a fire bag.
To the west of the settlement of Novgorodskoye (New York), the fighters of our units continue to advance towards the settlement of Panteleimonovka, having already reached the heights separating these settlements.
In the Pokrovsky sector, our armed forces knocked out the enemy from the part of the village of Timofeevka located on the left bank of the Kazenny Torets River and, having taken control of it, moved west, leaving the road leading to the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka highway.
Our people also advanced towards the village of Ivanovka in several more areas: from the south of the village toward Veseloe and from the East.
Along the railway we reached the village of Zhelannoe, to which, and most importantly to the road between it and Novosyolovka Pervaya, ours advanced from the northeast, expanding control on the western bank of the Volchya River.
This advance is very important for us because, at the moment, our troops are stretched along the railway, which increases the likelihood of attacks from the enemy, firstly, and secondly, a long logistics shoulder is formed. Taking a strong point located on the road between Zhelannoe and Novoselovka Pervaya will allow us to go beyond the river in this area, which will reduce the logistical strain and make it possible to move most of the route deeper into the territory we control, making logistics safer.
In Krasnogorovka, our armed forces drove the enemy out of the main part of the city. Units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces retreated to the suburbs: to Zarechny (streets north of the Lozovaya River) and the former state farm named after Lenin (western streets to the Zhukovsky reservoir south of the Lozovaya River). The Russian Armed Forces do not allow the retreating enemy units to dig in there, striking at the equipment and positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Some of our groups are already working in the area of Schmidt Street in Zarechny.
To the south, units of our army advanced in the area between Krasnogorovka and Marinka and reached the headquarters of the Paris Commune. Thus, our fighters approached a farm located north of this headquarters, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces use as a stronghold. They also cut off the Ukrainian Armed Forces units located between the Sukhaya gully and the Osinovaya River. Now, most likely, special attention of our units will be directed to this area to ensure further progress towards the settlement of Kurakhovo.
In the Yuzhnodonetsk direction, our fighters advanced within the boundaries of the village of Konstantinovka in the area of Chkalova and Shevchenko streets (southeast of the settlement). There is progress from the village of Pobeda along highway 0532 going to Ugledar. Taking into account the recent advance north of the settlement of Paraskovievka, we will soon put pressure on Konstantinovka from three sides: from the south, east, and north.
In the Velikonovoselkovsky section of the Yuzhnodonetsk direction, our armed forces advanced east of the settlement of Urozhainoe.
In the area of the Rabotinsky ledge in the Zaporozhye direction, our assault troops expanded the zone of control along the flanks, advancing north-west of Rabotino and taking a number of strong points north of it and west of the village of Novopokrovka.
