Russian forces have reported incremental advances near Novooleksandrivka in Donetsk Oblast, with monitoring groups documenting progress toward the settlement in late April and early May 2026. Official statements from the Russian Defense Ministry claimed full control over the village by April 30, while Ukrainian sources and independent trackers such as DeepState noted continued Russian pressure in the broader Pokrovsk direction amid ongoing artillery exchanges and small-unit assaults. These developments reflect sustained Russian efforts to expand territorial holdings in eastern Ukraine, where localized gains depend on supply lines, Ukrainian defensive reinforcements, and weather conditions affecting maneuver. Any resolution of related prediction markets would hinge on verified confirmation of entry or capture within the specified timeframe, subject to potential shifts from Ukrainian counteractions or changes in Russian operational tempo.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures any territory of Novooleksandrivka, Donetsk Oblast, (48.353724° N, 37.072518° E) between market creation and the specified date (ET).
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.
