Shandryholove (Ukrainian: Шандриголове; Russian: Шандриго́лово) is a village in Kramatorsk Raion in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine.
Russian invasion of Ukraine
The village came under attack and was captured by Russian forces in May 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2] It was then liberated by Ukrainian forces during the Kharkiv counteroffensive on 29 September 2022.[3]
Russian forces then re-entered the southern part of the settlement on 5 September 2025, during the Northeast Donetsk Oblast Campaign.[4] The Russian Ministry of Defence claimed complete control of the settlement on 29 September 2025,[5] But this was not confirmed by the Institute for the Study of War at the time. A Ukrainian military observer confirmed the fall of the settlement to Russian forces on 17 October 2025.[6]
Russian forces have been accused of committing war crimes in the settlement on 24 September 2025, where videos reportedly show the execution of civilians and the use of a child as a human shield.[7]
