This market will resolve to "Yes" if Vladimir Putin meets with Volodymyr Zelenskyy between this market's creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". An exchange of words, handshake, direct conversation, or other clear personal interaction between the named individuals will qualify as a meeting. Merely standing in proximity, making eye contact, or being present in the same room or event without direct interaction will not qualify. A meeting is defined as any encounter where both Zelenskyy and Putin are present and interact with each other in person. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.Ongoing diplomatic efforts in the Russia-Ukraine conflict show no scheduled bilateral summit between the two presidents before the August 31 deadline. Zelenskyy proposed direct talks in a neutral venue in June 2026, but Moscow rejected the overture, insisting on prior Ukrainian concessions on territory and neutrality that remain unresolved. Trilateral discussions involving the United States have produced limited results such as prisoner exchanges, yet core differences over security guarantees and borders persist without movement toward a leaders' meeting. The short remaining timeline and entrenched positions support trader consensus against any encounter. Late diplomatic breakthroughs or shifts in battlefield leverage represent the narrow paths that could still alter the outcome.
