Russian forces have conducted repeated assaults in the Hulyaypole sector of Zaporizhzhia Oblast targeting positions near Verkhnia Tersa, a fortified Ukrainian settlement west of Huliaipole. As of mid-October 2026, Ukrainian reports indicate these attacks were repelled, consistent with broader Ukrainian counteroffensives that reclaimed territory in Donetsk Oblast during September and October. Russian advances across the front have slowed markedly this year, with net territorial losses reported in some assessments amid Ukrainian operations disrupting Russian logistics. The village remains a focal point for Russian efforts to push westward, though no confirmed capture has occurred. Resolution of any related prediction market would depend on verified control of the settlement by the specified deadline.
