Ukrainian media (source: RBC Ukraine) reported that on August 2, in the direction of Red Army Village, Ukrainian defenders' commanders received orders from Zelenskyy to hold Red Army Village at all costs and not to allow it to be lost, otherwise they would face military punishment.

Red Army Village was suddenly breached over 5.32 square kilometers, and Russian soldiers walked into the city confidently.

This morning, the Russian Aerospace Forces used FAB-500 glide-guided bombs to attack a deployment point of the Ukrainian 24th Mechanized Brigade in Konstantinovka (Donetsk Constantinovka), causing hundreds of casualties.

According to Sergey Lebedev, coordinator of the anti-government underground organization in Mykolaiv, a large building storing ammunition in the city of Ramatorsk was destroyed by the Russian army, and the anti-government guerrillas provided the geographical coordinates.

The Russian army continued to attack towards the Konstantinovskaya direction, encircling this key city in the Donbas region from the flanks.

Ukrainian military analysts also admitted that the Russian army actually occupied the settlement of Aleksandrovka, establishing a bridgehead in the east of the village. In addition, the Russian army continued to make progress in the Yablunivka area, advancing more than 3 square kilometers in total.

In the south of Konstantinovka (Donetsk Constantinovka), the Russian 150th Motorized Rifle Division and adjacent friendly forces continued to attack in this section.

In the western part of the city, Russian突击队 have approached Katerinivka; on the eastern side, the last remaining Ukrainian forces in Kholodnyi were cleared out from Dzerzhinsk (Toltsk). Additionally, the Russian army is pushing forward north of Shelbinyvka.

The Russian army also showed images of Ukrainian troops in civilian clothes occupying civilian houses and setting up mortar positions. At the same time, the Ukrainian army used unmarked civilian vehicles to transport their drone operators, attacking the Russians. Both targets were precisely struck by Russian artillery fire.

Currently, Konstantinovka (Donetsk Constantinovka) is basically surrounded by the Russian army.​
