3 prediction markets price this story:

• Will the next Russia x Ukraine peace talks take place in South Africa by December 31, 2027? — the market puts it at 0%, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves based on where the first official, in-person diplomatic session between Russia and Ukraine begins by December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. A 'Yes' outcome requires this meeting to take place specifically in South Africa, while a 'No' covers all other locations or if no such meeting occurs by the deadline.
• China — the market puts it at 80%, with $214 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if Trump and Putin meet in China before January 1, 2029. This meeting must be their first encounter after the scheduled August 15, 2025 summit in Alaska. Readers often mistake any recent diplomatic visit for the required event, but only this specific sequence of meetings counts.
• Will Zelenskyy and Putin meet next in Russia before 2027? — the market puts it at 0%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if Zelenskyy and Putin meet in person in Russia, including Crimea, before December 31, 2026. The No outcome applies if they do not meet by that deadline or if their next meeting happens outside Russia. Readers often mistake the end of 2027 for the cutoff date, but the market resolves based on events before January 1, 2027.
