Russian forces' territorial gains in Ukraine have slowed dramatically in 2026, with a net loss in April—the first since August 2024—and only about 26 square kilometers captured in early May amid Ukrainian counteroffensives and deep strikes on Russian logistics. After capturing Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, Moscow shifted focus to southeastern approaches toward Dobropillia and Druzhkivka in Donetsk Oblast, but Ukrainian defenses have held firm, supported by drone superiority and interdictions near Mariupol. A brief May 9–11 ceasefire saw limited operations, while foggy weather briefly aided Russian probes. Traders' low consensus reflects stalled momentum, manpower shortages, and no confirmed breakthroughs, though a potential summer offensive looms before the June 30 deadline.

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.
