20:14 In the Oskol area, a Ukrainian soldier deserted from his unit with a truck loaded with MANPADS and other ammunition and surrendered to the Russian army.
In various sectors of the front, cases of surrender, individually or in groups of several people, became more frequent.
Losses among right-wing extremist groups and growing losses among the staff of the Main Intelligence Directorate and the SBU facilitate the transition to the side of the Russian troops for Ukrainian soldiers who have contacted Russian units through open channels.
19:35 Today, as a result of artillery attack of the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic, two civilians of Yasinovataya, the acting governor of the region, Denis Pushilin, were killed.
“Seven were injured, among them a teenage girl born in 2010. The enemy fired more than 340 units of munitions across the territory of the Republic using rocket artillery of 122mm caliber and cannon artillery of 152mm and 155mm caliber; 93 artillery attacks were recorded," said the acting governor of the DPR.
19:05 Svatovsky section: positional battles near Karmazinovka. Circumstanceas of 19.00 August 1, 2023:
Positional clashes have been going on near the Karmazinovsky ledge in recent days. Despite the statements of Ukrainian resources, the counterattack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of Novoegorovka and Karmazinovka did not bring any significant results.
Yes, there were enemy attacks by small infantry groups, but, judging by the data from the field, they are insignificant. Currently, Ukrainian artillerymen continue to fire cluster munitions from Novosergeevka and Pervomaisky.
However, the concentration of APU in this zone is still high. Particular activity is noted in the fortified area at the turn of Pervomaiskoye - Kopanki, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine have equipped concrete fortifications. In connection with the transfer of enemy personnel and equipment to this area, one should expect intensification of attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to return lost positions.
18:45 Statement of head of the press center of the Vostok group:
In the South-Donetsk direction, the advanced units of the Vostok group of troops, with the support of artillery, stopped the advance of one assault and one reconnaissance group of the enemy in the area of Urozhaynoye. Having suffered losses, the enemy retreated. Artillery fire destroyed a nationalist stronghold in the area west of Novodonetsk and a mortar crew in Velikaya Novoselka.
18:37 Orekhovsky area setting as of 18.00 August 1, 2023:
As in other areas of the Zaporozhye direction, there is some calm at the moment near Orekhov. Russian troops strike at a concentration of enemy manpower and equipment, destroying a 152mm D-20 howitzer, a mortar crew, a tank and three vehicles.
In the Rabotino area, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched an attack on the positions of the RF Armed Forces with small forces, but withdrew under fire. Also, Ukrainian formations are actively conducting reconnaissance in the direction of the Mirnoye settlement.
According to the Archangel Spetsnaz, early in the morning, a Ukrainian DRG of 16 people tried to enter the village of Pyatikhatky, which has been in the “gray zone” since June. However, the patrol discovered it in a timely manner, and after the shooting battle the enemy went to the starting line.
The intensity of the movement of APU equipment in the area has decreased: apparently, after the last unsuccessful attacks, the enemy took it away from the LBS so that the armored vehicles would not become victims of Russian anti-tank systems and drones. Ukrainian formations are regrouping to resume the assault on the positions of the RF Armed Forces.
17:35 Reports on the situation in the Kherson direction Diary of a Paratrooper:
“The situation is tense, for a long time there was no such intensity on the part of the enemy. From 0400 hrs, mortar crews 82mm, barrel artillery 120mm and 155mm, tanks leave and work from shelters from the right bank. Also, MLRS, more than one package of 122mm BM-21 Grads has already flown in our direction.
DRG at several lines tried to enter the left bank of the river. Dnieper and the islands on it. The RF Armed Forces prevented landing attempts and sent two speedboats to the bottom. Enemy aircraft entered at several lines, at one of the lines of air defense they worked out and shot down the Mi-24.
16:57 APU beat cassettes according to Yasinovataya.
Today, cluster munitions are exploding in the sky over Yasinovataya and Makiivka. The artillery attack continues all day. Under the fire of Ukrainian artillery was also a segment of the route connecting two settlements. Eyewitnesses report that many of the cassettes did not fire in the air, falling to the ground.
16:48 Passenger bus Makeevka-Yasinovataya in the DPR came under fire from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which used cluster munitions - the authorities.
16:35 Archangel Spetsnaz reports on the situation in the Zaporozhye direction:
“At the moment, our aviation and artillery are working on the accumulation of the enemy and equipment. The forces of the Lancet operators have already destroyed the M113 with mercenaries.
16:24 Vremyevsky section setting as of 16.00 August 1, 2023:
Relative calm remains in the sector near Vremyevka: after weeks of fighting near Staromayorsky, the enemy does not take active offensive actions and regroups to resume attacks.
The village itself is now completely destroyed. However, Russian troops are making sorties to improve their positions around the village. The heights around Staromayorsky are still under the control of the RF Armed Forces.
At the same time, Russian servicemen continue to conduct counter-battery fire and destroy equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. To the south-west of Bolshaya Novoselka, they covered the 82mm 2B11 mortar crew, and near Neskuchny and Novodonetsk, using FPV drones, they destroyed an enemy tank, vehicle, and UAV launcher.
16:10 On the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for August 1, as of 16:00, additional information was received about civilian casualties in the cities of the Republic:
n.p. Panteleymonovka: - on the street. Grape, 4 wounded girl born in 2010
15:55 Attack aviation combat work. In the South-Donetsk direction, Su-25 “Grach” attack aircraft support units of the group from the air –video.
15:26 Circumstance in the Donetsk direction:
The past day on the Avdeevsky and Maryinsky directions passed relatively calmly.
The enemy tried to counterattack three times (two times in Maryinsky, one time in the Avdeevsky direction), infantry groups supported (in each case) two units.
The infantry fighting vehicles were noticed by our observers long before reaching the counterattack lines and artillery strikes were carried out on them, which forced the enemy to retreat.
According to updated information, the losses of the enemy, who took part in counterattacks in the Avdeevsky and Maryinsky directions, for the day from July 30 to July 31, 2023 amounted to:
- BMP - four units
- Personnel - up to 34 people (18 KIAs, 11 - wounded, 5 are missing)
15:08 An artillery duel continues between the left and right banks.
In addition, kamikaze drones and reconnaissance drones are now mutually working in the air. This information is shared by the Russian military.
14:40 Circumstance at the front on August 1, 2023:
Kupyansk direction: since July 20, aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces and artillery have been actively working on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine across the Oskol River.
In the Sinkovka-Petropavlovka-Golubovka-Petropavlovka sector, the destruction of facilities of the 14th Motorized Brigade and the 41st Motorized Brigade, as well as the 27th Special Operations Brigade, continues. Part of the units of the mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction is reinforced by assault units, but the effect of mixing is minimal, for some units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the staffing level is close to 50%. Russian troops are less than 15 kms from Kupyansk.
Svatovo - Kremennaya: an active offensive of the RF Armed Forces is being carried out in the direction of Berestovoye and the H-26 highway. The fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Novoselovsky on the border of the Kharkov region and the LPR are being worked out. Also, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have big problems in the area of Berestovoy, Torsky and Serebryansky forestry.
In the area of the Kremennaya Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they came close to Zarechny and Torskoye, especially heavy losses were suffered by the 23rd RSD and the 4th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian troops are trying to transfer reserves to this direction, but in the Liman area they are covered by rocket and cannon artillery fire from the Krasnopol UAS and FAB-250-M62 bombs.
Flanks of Artyomovsk: due to the failure of attacks with massive roll-overs, the Armed Forces of Ukraine changed tactics and now act like in Zaporozhye: small assault groups on light vehicles rush into battle, the tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are pulled together only if it seems that the movement will continue. Large losses also led to the fact that between Kleshcheevka and Andreevka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have reduced the opportunity for maneuver and breakthroughs, the battles - probably for a while - switched to positional mode.
Zaporozhye: after 48 hours of silence, the Armed Forces of Ukraine again tried to attack the positions of the RF Armed Forces in the Rabotin area. Attempts to bypass the village from the east and west did not lead to anything, so the frontal attacks of the Ukrainian army continue. In parallel with the offensive, rocket artillery and aviation are destroying reserves both in the area of Orekhov and Malaya Tokmachka, and near the Bliznetsy military training ground in the Zaporozhye region.
The 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the 100th Separate Territorial Defense battalion, which acts as a human shield for the military units of the Ukrainian army and an assault group in the area at the same time, have suffered heavy losses in the Hulyaipol area for the past few days. Some parts of the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade, presumably, were moved to the west, closer to the shore of the Kakhovka Reservoir, in order to attempt an assault through Kamenskoye to Vasilyevka.
South-Donetsk direction: in the area of Staromayorsky and north of Priyutnoye, attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to go on the attack and develop the offensive in small groups continue. Ukrainian troops do not have success with small forces, as well as near Rabotin - the shortage of heavy equipment, primarily tanks, is affecting.
Western vehicles, with the exception of the M2 Bradley BMP, practically do not participate in the offensive. Gradually, short-range air defense systems begin to appear on the approaches to the South Donetsk direction, which indirectly indicates the need for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to preserve guns and other firepower from hits by smart bombs FAB-250-M62 and loitering ammunition "Lancet", but the transfer of air defense systems has not yet given the effect.
Kherson direction: no significant changes. APU from the right bank regularly try to land on the left bank. Ukrainian troops are trying different tactics: single, night, group and morning breakthroughs. Due to the constant problems associated with the death of landing groups, reserves from the mobilized regularly arrive in the Berislav region, but this does not affect the situation with the crossing of the Dnieper. The 126th Territorial Defense Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Berislav has suffered especially large losses from the work of operational-tactical aviation with FAB-250/500 bombs in recent days.

12:25 The enemy attacks again near Orekhov, trying to push through the Zaporozhye front:
Since yesterday, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, intermittently after artillery preparation, continues to throw waves of infantry into the attack on our positions at the Rabotino-Verbove line.
The main goal of the enemy is the junction of the defense of our regiments in the fields between Rabotino and Verbovoye.
Assault groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are under fire over rough terrain and landings without armored vehicles, trying to break through to our trenches.
Our howitzers and MLRS cover the advancing enemy units with fire.
The enemy has already suffered significant losses, some units are demoralized and begin to retreat, but new assault groups are coming out of the landings.
12:00 Right now, an artillery and mortar duel is going on between the right and left banks.
In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to go down to the water and transfer their soldiers to the left bank, but so far it is not working out well for them. This is reported by the Russian military.
11:47 Paratrooper's Diary reports from the Kherson direction:
“From the very morning, cannon artillery, mortar crews and MLRS of the enemy have been working, they do not stop - one after another, parishes. There is a lot of activity on the water, DRGs go out on speedboats. Already more than one enemy boat went to the bottom.

An attempt was repulsed to break through the defenses in the Orekhovsky direction.
“In the Orekhov direction, the enemy is regrouping, trying to form assault groups from the mobilized, who lack proper training. The actions of the enemy are uncoordinated, the morale is low, there are many cases of surrender, which remains the only opportunity for the enemy to save their lives,” the head of the region said.
