On the morning of August 2nd, a video shot by Ukrainian drones showed a large number of Russian soldiers walking on the streets south of the Red Army Village, with tanks and armored vehicles occasionally passing by. Local residents who had not evacuated came out of their basements to watch.

The official Ukrainian source DEEPSTATE released a video stating that the Russian army had moved in the area near the Sobornaya Square garden in the southern part of the Red Army Village city. The video could hear the sound of gunfire, and the advancing location was 48.27223, 37.15417, which confirmed the Arrow Society's report about the Russian army advancing in the city.

The report from the Russian field journalist Lisytsin stated that the Russian army entered the Red Army Village city, breaking through the Ukrainian defense lines at Leontovych and Troyanovka, entering the northern community of the E50 highway in the Red Army Village. Currently, the supply and evacuation routes on the northern side of the Red Army Village have also been cut off.

The pro-Ukrainian source AMK reported that in the northern wing of Pokrovsk (Red Army Village), Russian突击队 occupied four settlements including Nikanorivka, Zatoshok, and Sukhetsk, completely controlling a 2.7 km long railway line east of Bilytsk and the parallel trenches. Multiple Russian突击teams are continuously attacking Dolozhne, Bilytsk, Rokytne, and Hrynov in an unceasing manner day and night.

American media CNN noticed the progress of the Russian army between the Red Army Village and Constantinople. The Russian summer offensive quietly began without large-scale armored attacks or human wave tactics, only using VKS aerial bombs, drones, and countless FPV as well as a small number of squad assault teams to minimize casualties.

The Russian army is replicating the victory in the Avdiivka and Ugledar directions, especially the well-known tactic of surrounding three sides and leaving one open.
