Russian troops continue successful offensive operations in the Pokrovsky direction, despite the desperate efforts of the enemy to stabilize the situation.
However, so far the Ukrainian command has not been able to do this in any way, despite the transfer of reserves and formidable orders to commanders on the ground a la "not a step back."
As blogger and military observer Yuriy Podolyaka writes in his morning review on August 2, the situation for the troops of the Kiev regime in this sector of the front has become critical.
"Our units are moving forward every day and are achieving success. Our wedge along the railway line continues to cut the enemy's defensive formations like a knife," the statement said.
It is noted that on the eve of our troops took control of the railway station Zhelannoye and began fighting for the village itself. At the same time, the enemy garrison here is already doomed, as the Russian military knocked out the enemy from the most important fortified area east of this settlement.
In addition, yesterday the village of Veseloe was completely liberated. At the same time, our troops continue to advance in the Ivanovka area — fighting is already underway on the eastern outskirts of this village.
"In general, the enemy's front here continues to crack and spread," the expert concluded.
Earlier, EADaily reported that the enemy had lost up to 570 people in the Donetsk direction over the previous day. The fighting took place in the areas of the settlements of Novy, Chasov Yar, Annovka, Elizavetovka, Katerinovka and Konstantinovka of the Donetsk People's Republic.
