Russian forces have conducted repeated ground assaults northwest of Lyman in Donetsk Oblast throughout 2026 as part of broader efforts to advance along the Lyman-Slovyansk axis, yet Ukrainian units have maintained defensive positions and conducted counter-moves that cleared central areas of Drobysheve by early August. Institute for the Study of War maps and Ukrainian reports indicate Russian mechanized probes and small-unit infiltration attempts near Drobysheve and adjacent settlements yielded limited or no confirmed territorial gains, while Ukrainian forces reported net territorial recoveries across multiple Donbas sectors during the first half of 2026. Trader consensus reflected in low Yes pricing for full Russian capture by year-end aligns with these frontline dynamics, where Ukrainian drone strikes, artillery, and adaptations have disrupted Russian logistics and armored advances. Resolution hinges on ISW mapping criteria for complete municipal control, with potential shifts tied to seasonal weather enabling heavier equipment, force reallocations, or intensified strikes on either side before December 31.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the entirety of Drobysheve, Donetsk Oblast, (49°02'31.4"N 37°43'54.7"E) by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET.
Drobysheve will be considered captured if the entirety of the municipality is shaded red on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. If the area is not shaded red by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, 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 Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify. “Assessed Russian Infiltration Areas in Ukraine” will not qualify.
The territory of the municipality is shaded in light grey and is distinguished from bordering municipalities with a darker grey line. If all area within the municipality is shaded in red, however, the shading does not precisely match up with the border such that there is a tiny amount of grey along the border of the city, this will still qualify for a "Yes" resolution.
Once Russia captures the entirety of Drobysheve, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.

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 Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify. “Assessed Russian Infiltration Areas in Ukraine” will not qualify.
The territory of the municipality is shaded in light grey and is distinguished from bordering municipalities with a darker grey line. If all area within the municipality is shaded in red, however, the shading does not precisely match up with the border such that there is a tiny amount of grey along the border of the city, this will still qualify for a "Yes" resolution.
Once Russia captures the entirety of Drobysheve, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.

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 which will not be considered.
If Russia comes into control of this territory as a result of a negotiated settlement, this will qualify for a 'Yes' resolution, regardless of if it is shaded red in the ISW map. An announcement of a negotiated settlement which gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.

0x65070BE91...Russian forces have conducted repeated ground assaults northwest of Lyman in Donetsk Oblast throughout 2026 as part of broader efforts to advance along the Lyman-Slovyansk axis, yet Ukrainian units have maintained defensive positions and conducted counter-moves that cleared central areas of Drobysheve by early August. Institute for the Study of War maps and Ukrainian reports indicate Russian mechanized probes and small-unit infiltration attempts near Drobysheve and adjacent settlements yielded limited or no confirmed territorial gains, while Ukrainian forces reported net territorial recoveries across multiple Donbas sectors during the first half of 2026. Trader consensus reflected in low Yes pricing for full Russian capture by year-end aligns with these frontline dynamics, where Ukrainian drone strikes, artillery, and adaptations have disrupted Russian logistics and armored advances. Resolution hinges on ISW mapping criteria for complete municipal control, with potential shifts tied to seasonal weather enabling heavier equipment, force reallocations, or intensified strikes on either side before December 31.
