KHARKIV, UKRAINE — RELEASED ON JAN. 8, 2026 — RESTRICTION: USERS MUST CREDIT "RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY" HANDOUT, MUST NOT OBSCURE LOGO — EDITORIAL USE ONLY — The Russian Defense Ministry released footage on Thursday, Jan. 8, regarding its claim that it had taken control of the village of Podoly in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region.

On Sunday, Jan. 4, Russian forces captured the village of Podoly, about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) east of the front-line town of Kupiansk, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Earlier, Ukraine’s General Staff claimed that Russian forces launched 14 assaults against its positions near eight settlements in the Kupiansk direction.

Among the settlements named were Kucherivka, Kurylivka, and Petropavlivka, all of which are situated near Podoly, though the village was not mentioned.

Ukrainian authorities have yet to comment on Russia’s claim, and independent verification is difficult due to the ongoing war, nearing its fifth year.
