Russian forces continue incremental probing and infiltration attempts around Stavky, a small settlement north of Lyman in Donetsk Oblast, as part of broader operations along the Lyman axis aimed at pressuring Ukraine’s defensive lines toward Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. ISW assessments through early September 2026 document repeated Russian attacks near Stavky, Drobysheve, and Novoselivka, alongside Ukrainian counterattacks that have repelled or contained small assault groups without confirmed territorial losses in the settlement. Trader sentiment reflects the pattern of slow Russian pressure offset by Ukrainian defensive depth, local reinforcements, and artillery response, within Russia’s ongoing effort to secure the remainder of Donetsk Oblast. Key variables include sustained Russian manpower and fire support versus Ukrainian ability to maintain positions amid competing demands along the wider front.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the intersection at 49.048958° N, 37.829063° E in Stavky, Donetsk Oblast, by the specified date 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 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.
