Russian forces appear close to being pushed out of the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kupyansk, with only a small number of isolated troops remaining and even pro-Kremlin voices acknowledging the setback, according to a report.

The Kyiv Post reported Thursday that Ukrainian military officials say Russian units left inside the city are cut off from reliable supply lines and are increasingly surrendering as their position deteriorates.

Viktor Trehubov, head of communications for Ukraine’s Joint Forces grouping, said Russian forces inside Kupyansk now number only several dozen and include foreign mercenaries fighting alongside Moscow’s troops.

"They are surrendering," Trehubov said during a televised briefing carried by Ukrainian state media. "There have even been cases of foreigners — foreign mercenaries for the Russians — giving themselves up."

According to Ukrainian officials, the remaining Russian units are surviving largely on limited air resupply, a tactic that cannot sustain long-term operations inside the city.

"Supply by air bridge alone is not something that allows them to hold out for long," Trehubov said.

While Russian forces continue to launch multiple assaults along the Kupyansk axis each day, Ukrainian officials say those attacks lack the manpower and reserves needed to change the balance on the ground.
At this stage, they simply do not have additional capabilities to somehow restore the situation," Trehubov said.

The Kyiv Post also reported that Russian military bloggers and war correspondents have begun openly conceding that Kupyansk is no longer under Russian control, marking a notable shift in Kremlin-aligned messaging.

"An entire wave of messages appeared saying that Kupyansk is gone," Trehubov said. "Even Russian propagandists have switched to a line acknowledging that the city is no longer under their control."

Ukrainian officials stressed that Russia never fully reestablished control over Kupyansk after its liberation in September 2022, aside from a brief occupation during the early phase of the invasion.
In reality, it was never fully taken by them in order to be ‘lost,’ aside from a short period in 2022," Trehubov said.

Efforts by Russian units to dig in within the city’s northern districts have failed, leaving those forces unable to withdraw or receive reinforcements, Ukrainian officials said.

"They themselves now admit that the defense of the city by the same units that entered and tried to secure positions in the northern districts has failed," Trehubov said.
Combat continues outside the city, particularly from positions across the Oskil River, though Ukrainian forces maintain control of Kupyansk itself.

Ukraine’s General Staff said Russian troops carried out five attacks in the Kupyansk sector Dec. 24, all of which were repelled near Petropavlivka, Pishchane, Zahryzove and Kupyansk.

Trehubov said a recent Ukrainian counteroffensive further disrupted Russian efforts to stabilize the front.

"The counteroffensive came as a surprise for the enemy," he said. "Right now, they simply lack the resources to regain control."

Former President Joe Biden shared a family photo on social media on Christmas Eve, sparking online criticism after he appeared partially visible in the image while son Hunter stood front and center.

The photo shows several members of the Biden family standing in front of a decorated Christmas tree, with Hunter positioned prominently in the foreground.

Former first lady Jill Biden is also in the image, standing in front of the former president with her head partially obstructing his face. All other family members appear fully framed and clearly visible.

In the X post accompanying the image, Biden wrote, "Wishing you a peaceful and joyful Christmas Eve filled with joy."
The post did not address the framing of the photo, and representatives for Biden did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The image circulated widely on social media following its release, with users commenting on the positioning and composition of the family members shown.

One person posted a close-up of Biden’s face, writing, "Took me a while to find ya, champ."
Another commenter wrote, "I think it’s disrespectful to put the eldest family member in the back of a photo taken for the former president’s social media."

Appearing to compare the image to a Where’s Waldo? scene, one person wrote, "Where’s Joe?"

Another user asked Biden in the comments, "Why are you in the back, blocked by Jill? "Other users questioned why Hunter was positioned so prominently in the photo, with some comments focusing specifically on his placement.

One person wrote, "Hunter is the alpha now."

Additional posts shared altered versions of the image, depicting Hunter either shirtless or with a white substance under his nose.

"Wishing you and your entire family (specially your son) a white Christmas," one user wrote.

Not all the comments were critical of the photo or the former president.

One person wrote, "Wishing you and your family a peaceful and joyful Christmas. Your strength and love inspire us all."

Another added, "Wishing you a peaceful Christmas Eve too, Mr. President. Let's hope the spirit of goodwill extends into the new year and helps bridge some of the divides we've seen. The image is a nice reminder of simpler times."

Several others shared similar sentiments, including a message that said, "Merry Christmas to the whole Biden family!"

Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has warned that Nigeria is making a grave mistake by allowing foreign military involvement, insisting that so-called efforts to fight terrorism often end up harming innocent people while serving hidden interests.

According to him, terror!sts do not truly fight terrorists; instead, they create chaos and bloodshed under the guise of combating terror.

He argued that no sovereign nation should permit its land to become a theater of wàr or allow neighboring countries to turn into enemies.

If Nigeria truly requires military support, he suggested that countries such as China, Turkey, or Pakistan are capable of providing effective assistance without the dangerous consequences he associates with U.S. involvement.

Sheikh Gumi cautioned that the presence of the United States in Nigeria would attract genuine anti-U.S. forces, turning the country into a battleground.

He further warned that claims of coming to “protect Christians” could deepen divisions, polarize the nation along religious lines, and undermine Nigeria’s sovereignty.

In light of reports of alleged U.S. airstrikes in Nigeria, he has urged the Federal Government to immediately halt all military cooperation with the United States.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. launched airstrikes in northwest Nigeria on Christmas night targeting ISIS militants he accused of killing Christians, calling the operation decisive and warning further attacks would follow if the violence continues.

"Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!" Trump said Thursday on Truth Social.

"I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing.

"Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper," he continued. "May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues."

"At the direction of the President of the United States and the Secretary of War, and in coordination with Nigerian authorities, U.S. Africa Command conducted strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on Dec. 25, 2025, in Sokoto State," the post read.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz also weighed in after learning about the strikes on ISIS forces in Nigeria.

"Merry Christmas to the Christians in Nigeria and around the world who know tonight that the President of the United States will fight for them," he said in a post on X.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said Thursday, "I commend President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and our brave troops for these strikes against bloodthirsty ISIS savages who are not only persecuting Christians, but also have killed many Americans."
Last month, Trump threatened to "do things in Nigeria that Nigeria is not going to be happy about" and "go into that now disgraced country guns-a-blazing."
That warning set the stage for the Christmas-night strikes, which Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said fulfilled the president’s demand that the killings stop.

"The President was clear last month: the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria (and elsewhere) must end," Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said on X. "The is always ready, so ISIS found out tonight — on Christmas. More to come…

"Grateful for Nigerian government support & cooperation," he added. "Merry Christmas!"

Then, nearly a month later, the Trump administration rolled out a new visa-restriction policy in response to a wave of brutal anti-Christian attacks in Nigeria, targeting those accused of orchestrating religious violence against Christians in the West African nation and around the world.Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the policy in the Immigration and Nationality Act will allow the State Department to deny visas to those "who have directed, authorized, significantly supported, participated in, or carried out violations of religious freedom."

Immediate family members may also face visa restrictions in some cases.

"The United States is taking decisive action in response to the mass killings and violence against Christians by radical Islamic terrorists, Fulani ethnic militias, and other violent actors in Nigeria and beyond," Rubio said in the statement.

The move followed a surge of attacks on Christians and Christian institutions in Nigeria. Last month, gunmen stormed the Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku, Kwara State, killing two people and kidnapping dozens. The 38 abducted worshipers were freed nearly a week later.

Days later, armed attackers raided St. Mary’s School in Niger State, abducting more than 300 students and staff. School officials said 50 students aged 10 to 18 escaped in the following days, but 253 students and 12 teachers remain captive.

The violence prompted Trump to designate Nigeria a "country of particular concern," though the Nigerian government disputes the U.S. assessment.
