Brief report from the front, September 1, 2024 by Marat Khairullin with illustrations by Mikhail Popov
Donetsk direction:
In the Toretsk area, the Russian Armed Forces in Toretsk have consolidated their positions in the area of Novaya Pochta and are pushing further. South of the city, the territory of the Novaya mine has been occupied. Attacks are being launched against enemy positions on the mine's waste heap.
In the Pokrovsky area in the village of Selidovo, fighters from our units took control of the eastern part of the city. Fighting is underway for the central part. In the southern part of the city, the Central Hospital came under the control of our army.
It is reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have retreated from the settlement of Lesovka to Ukrainsk, and at the same time, our armed forces have begun an assault on Ukrainsk itself and are trying to gain a foothold in its northern part in the area of Gogolya Street.
The settlements of Galitsinovka and Dolinovka are under the control of our units. There is an advance towards the settlement of Zhelannoye 1. As the Russian Armed Forces advance south from Galitsinovka along the road to Zoryanoye, the "Nevelsky cauldron" will be closed - the enemy garrison there will be locked in encirclement. There have been reports from the enemy that, realizing this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have begun to retreat.
South Donetsk direction:
In the South Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces advanced north of the settlement of Konstantinovka, which was liberated earlier, practically eliminating the existing salient there. The summer cottage settlement of Shakhtyor is also under the control of our fighters. In the area of the settlement of Vodyanoye, active military actions are taking place on the outskirts of the settlement itself and on the territory of the Yuzhnodonbasakaya mine, where our landing force occupied the administrative building of the mine.
In the urban settlement of Ugledar, enemy positions are being processed with fire, and massive strikes are being carried out.
In the Velikonovoselkovsky area, our troops advanced north of the settlement of Urozhainoe to the settlement of Makarovka.
