Since early 2014, Evgeny Poddubny as a special correspondent for Rossiya-24 TV channel has covered the events of the Revolution of Dignity, the Russian annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, and the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Since March 2022, Poddubny, as an employee of the Russian TV channels Rossiya-24 and Rossiya-1, has been making illegal reports from the combat zone on the territory of Ukraine. Calls the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops a "special operation" and disseminates propaganda narratives about Ukrainians as neo-Nazis. Denies crimes of the Russian military against civilians, provides "expert" comments, creates a positive image of the Russian military, and discredits the current government of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In May 2022, thanks to the report by Yevhen Poddubny and Oleksandr Kots, the Ukrainian military managed to locate and destroy Russian military equipment, which had destroyed a bridge between the cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.

On 09 July 2022, the Security Service of Ukraine and the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine informed Yevhen Poddubnyy of suspicion of disseminating materials in which he justified Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine and supported the actions of the Russian military.
