According to the Russian Telegram channel "Military Chronicle," on August 20, soldiers of the "Western" group actively worked and destroyed a French Caesar self-propelled howitzer of the Ukrainian armed forces in the border area of Dnipropetrovsk region.
According to Russian battlefield journalist Sladkov, the 1st Guards Tank Division is engaged in combat near the Kupiansk Zaskole station. Part of the units have also entered Sobolevka and circled the city from the rear.
Russian forces today controlled the T0504 road east of Konstantinovka Donetskoye Constantinovka, and Russian突击队 also occupied the villa area of Donetskoye Constantinovka on the Don River.
The tactical objective of the Russian forces in this direction is to open up the T0504 east-west corridor. Expand the area for mobile operations; meanwhile, it aims to divert Ukrainian forces back to Donetskoye Constantinovka to relieve the pressure on the Russian forces in the Red Army village direction.
It was reported that this afternoon, a large aerial bomb FAB-3000 UMPK of the Russian Aerospace Forces fell on the positions of the Ukrainian forces and foreign mercenaries who refused to surrender in Donetskoye Constantinovka (Костянтинівка), possibly eliminating an entire company, with some even having no bodies found.

It's funny to say, a week ago, Ukraine vividly hyped up the so-called "major breakthrough" by the Russians northeast of Red Army village, then almost without any objective materials supporting it, discussions began on the Ukrainian internet about how the Russians did and how the Ukrainians did.
Then, one week later today, the Russian forces have already entered the eastern part of Donetskoye Constantinovka, and it's a solid hold rather than just a probe, but there's virtually no sound on the Ukrainian internet.
We'll just wait for the Russian army to raise the flag in Donetskoye Constantinovka first.
