Russian forces have made only incremental gains in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast through mid-May 2026, with recent assessments showing net territorial losses over the past month amid intensified Ukrainian counterattacks and long-range strikes. A short-lived ceasefire announced for May 9-11 broke down quickly, followed by large-scale drone and missile exchanges targeting Kyiv and Russian rear areas. Ukrainian units have reclaimed settlements near Kupyansk, in southern Zaporizhzhia, and along parts of the front west of Chasiv Yar, while Russian pushes toward key hubs such as Pokrovsk and Kostyantynivka remain stalled. These battlefield dynamics, combined with high Russian casualties and logistical strain, shape trader views on the limited prospects for major city entries by year-end absent a significant shift in momentum or negotiations.

This market refers to the city of Dobropillia (48.47, 37.08) which borders Sviatohorivka and Hannivka. Other Ukrainian towns/cities named Dobropillia will not be considered for resolution.
Territory will be considered captured if any part of the city or settlement is shaded under a below specified layer on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. Otherwise, the market will resolve to “No”.
For any change on the ISW map to qualify for this market’s resolution, the relevant shading indicating Russian control must persist through the next full ISW daily update cycle. If ISW skips a day, shading must persist until the next finalized ISW update is published, regardless of the date. Any continuous shading which reflects either "Assessed Russian Infiltration Areas in Ukraine", “Assessed Russian Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Russia comes into control of the specified territory as a result of a negotiated settlement, this will qualify for a 'Yes' resolution, regardless of whether it is shaded red in the ISW map. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
The primary resolution source for this market will be the ISW Ukraine map. If the ISW map is rendered unavailable, information from DeepStateMap (https://deepstatemap.live/) may be used. If information from both the ISW and DeepStateMap are rendered permanently unavailable, a consensus of credible reporting may be used.
Note: Any temporary glitches or errors in the map will not be considered.
