Russian forces have conducted repeated but limited ground assaults southeast of Velykyi Burluk in Kharkiv Oblast’s Kupyansk direction without confirmed advances into Khatnie as of mid-May 2026, according to Institute for the Study of War mapping. This stalled momentum, combined with Ukrainian drone interdiction and defensive lines, has kept trader-implied probability for Russian entry by the May 31 deadline at roughly 17-18 percent. A brief May 9-11 pause produced no territorial shifts, consistent with slow Russian operational tempo in the sector since February probes. No major diplomatic or battlefield catalysts have emerged to alter the near-term outlook, leaving the market reflecting sustained uncertainty over whether incremental pressure can overcome Ukrainian resistance before month-end.

Territory will be considered captured if any part of the specified territory is shaded under a below specified layer on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. Otherwise, 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 Infiltration Areas in Ukraine", “Assessed Russian Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Russia comes into control of the specified 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. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
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 will not be considered.
