Russian forces continue probing offensives in northern Sumy Oblast, targeting border areas like Pokrovka—a small settlement southeast of Sumy City—to expand a security buffer zone, but no verified advances have occurred there in the past 30 days. Ukrainian 14th Army Corps footage from March 21, 2026, confirmed control of the heavily damaged village with a raised national flag, debunking earlier Russian capture claims. ISW noted assaults near Pokrovka on April 15 without gains, and recent activity remains limited amid short ceasefires such as May 9-11. Traders monitor geolocated evidence, ISW updates, and official statements for control shifts, as escalation in Sumy could alter dynamics before the market's resolution date.

The intersection will be considered captured if any part of the intersection 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 the specified date, 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.
If Russia comes into control of this 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. An announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
Once Russia captures the intersection, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
