Ukrainian troops continue to conduct offensive operations in the Berdyansk and Melitopol direction. Russian sources claim that the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the invaders near Robotinoe.
The situation in Kharkiv and Lugansk regions
The head of the Kharkiv OVA, Oleg Sinegubov, said that Russian troops were intensifying their offensive in the Kupyansk direction, but Ukrainian forces were repelling them.
Deputy Defense Minister of Ukraine Anna Malyar said that Russian troops have concentrated forces along the administrative border of the Kharkiv and Luhansk regions in order to withdraw Ukrainian forces from Bakhmut.
Russian “military correspondents” claimed that Russian troops allegedly captured a fortified area near Krasnopopovka (5 km northwest of Kremennaya) and allegedly advanced near Torsky (14 km west of Kremennaya) and Serebryansky forest.
Geolocation footage released on August 1 shows that Ukrainian forces have made limited gains southeast of Kuzminoe (2km southwest of Kremennaya).
Fighting in the Donetsk region
Ukrainian forces continued limited offensive operations in the Bakhmut direction and reportedly advanced on 1 August. Ukrainian officials said Russian forces were unsuccessfully defending themselves against Ukrainian attacks.
A Russian “military corps officer” claimed that Ukrainian forces had captured an undetermined height near Klishchievka (7km southwest of Bakhmut). Some Russian military bloggers have claimed that Ukrainian forces have changed tactics and are now operating in smaller assault groups along the Andreevka-Kleshchievka line.
Ukrainian forces reportedly carried out limited offensive operations along the Avdiivka-Donetsk line. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainian troops repelled Russian ground attacks near Avdiivka, Maryinka and Pobeda (5km southwest of Donetsk).
“South Axis”
The General Staff of Ukraine reported that Ukrainian troops continued offensive operations in the Berdyansk direction. Russian troops unsuccessfully tried to restore lost positions east of Staromorskoye.
The General Staff of Ukraine reported that Ukrainian troops continued offensive operations in the Melitopol direction. Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces attacked Russian troops near Robotino (10 km south of Orekhov).
The lack of consensus in the Russian media over the scale of this likely Ukrainian attack near Robotinoe suggests that Ukrainian forces are likely to continue to conduct limited attacks in the area.
A Russian military blogger said that the Russian sniper group “Klinok” is operating near Robotinoy.
It is reported that Ukrainian troops launched strikes on a Russian training camp in the Kherson region. A Russian “voenkor” claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had attacked a Russian training camp on Dzharylgach Island (in the Black Sea, 70 km southeast of the city of Kherson) and that Ukrainian forward positions were at least 60 km from the training camp, suggesting that Ukrainian forces struck with precision-guided long-range munitions.
On August 1, Russian troops fired on peaceful areas of the city of Kherson. The Ministry of Health reported that the Russians fired at the Kherson city clinical hospital.
