This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the intersection at 48.494433° N, 37.377320° E in Sofiivka, Donetsk Oblast, by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. 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 which 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.

These operations form part of broader efforts to advance westward from Pokrovsk and Kostyantynivka axes, though confirmed territorial gains in the immediate Sofiivka area remain limited amid high attrition and Ukrainian defensive resistance. Ukraine reported net territorial recoveries exceeding 500 square kilometers earlier in the year, while Russian monthly advances slowed to roughly 84 square kilometers by June. Ongoing clashes, artillery exchanges, and drone activity continue to shape frontline dynamics, with no major diplomatic or reinforcement developments altering the local balance as of mid-August.

An announcement of a negotiated settlement which gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.

These operations form part of broader efforts to advance westward from Pokrovsk and Kostyantynivka axes, though confirmed territorial gains in the immediate Sofiivka area remain limited amid high attrition and Ukrainian defensive resistance. Ukraine reported net territorial recoveries exceeding 500 square kilometers earlier in the year, while Russian monthly advances slowed to roughly 84 square kilometers by June. Ongoing clashes, artillery exchanges, and drone activity continue to shape frontline dynamics, with no major diplomatic or reinforcement developments altering the local balance as of mid-August.
