One prediction market prices this story:
- Ukraine — the market puts it at 6%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the U.S. State Department issues, updates, or reaffirms a level 3 or lower travel advisory for Ukraine before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if no such advisory occurs within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked news story about deportation reprieves as the resolution criteria, but only official U.S. State Department travel advisories count.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
