It would not be wrong to say that after the capture of Neskuchny, the fate of Velyka Novosyolka and the garrison of the Ukrainian army would be virtually predetermined, since after several attempts to storm it, Russian troops managed to bypass the village from the north and begin its encirclement in the area of Novy Komar; Advance is difficult, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are resisting as best they can, but the shortage of people in the trenches and the Russian Federation's superiority in artillery are affecting the Ukrainian army's ability to fight back for a long time; The most important strongholds in this area are gradually falling away from the defensive network.
