  • Will Russia capture Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka by March 31, 2027? — the market puts it at 19%, closing 1 Apr 2027. Russia must control the railroad station in Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, as shown on the ISW map, by 11:59 PM ET on March 31, 2027. The station is considered captured if any part of its icon is shaded under 'Assessed Russian-Controlled Terrain' or 'Assessed Russian Advances' layers on the ISW map, and this shading persists through the next full ISW daily update cycle.
  • Will Russia enter Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka by October 31? — resolved “No” on 1 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Russia controls any part of Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka according to the ISW map by October 31 at 11:59 PM ET. The control must be shown under specific qualifying layers and persist through the next full daily update cycle. Readers often mistake the deadline for midnight UTC or assume that claimed territory counts toward resolution.
  • Will Russia capture all of Kostyantynivka by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 11%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Russia controls every part of Kostyantynivka according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) map by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Control requires continuous shading under specific ISW layers during their daily updates, though minor border mismatches or negotiated settlements establishing actual control also count.
