Short report from the front on August 2, 2024 by Marat Khairullin

In the Pokrovsky sector of the Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces expanded control in the area of ​​the settlement of Lisichnoe west of the road leading to the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka highway. This road itself is under the control of our units in the section from the settlement of Progress to Timofeevka. From it to the highway, it’s about five and a half kilometers.

In the area of ​​the village In Ivanovka, our fighters cleared a large stronghold and entered the settlement itself, and there are battles for the release of this settlement.

From Veseloe, our armed forces have already knocked out the enemy and are carrying out final clearing and demining. Another forest belt was also taken to the south of it, thanks to which we advanced in a wide area to the village of Sergeevka, to the southern part of which we approached along the railway, advancing from the village of Zhelannoe. According to some reports, our fighters have already entered the very southern part of the village of Sergeevka.

In the village of Zhelannoe, battles are underway for its release. Our fighters occupied the railway station and entrenched themselves in the buildings of the western part of the village, from where they advance, knocking out the enemy to the center of the village. At the same time, ours are exerting pressure from the north-west, where they reached the farm area in the area of ​​the cemetery.

Northeast of the village of Zhelannoe, the Russian Armed Forces expanded the zone of control, knocking out the enemy from the company strong point located there, and are now ready to cut off the strong point covering the crossings across the Volchya River from supplies, thereby putting the enemy sitting in it in difficult situation.

In the Yuzhnodonetsk direction, assault detachments of units of the Russian Armed Forces entered highway 0532 in the area of ​​the Solenenkaya gully, completely cutting it off.

Heavy fighting is taking place in the village of Konstantinovka and its surrounding area. The Russian Aerospace Forces are actively working at the site. One of the strikes destroyed an ammunition depot located in a populated area.
