Russian forces claimed capture of Shevchenko, a village south of the key Ukrainian logistics hub Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast, on April 25, 2026, as part of the ongoing Pokrovsk offensive, according to Ministry of Defense statements and Institute for the Study of War assessments. This follows incremental advances northwest and southwest of Pokrovsk, where geolocated footage shows mutual Ukrainian and Russian tactical movements near Shevchenko, Vodyanske, and Udachne through early May. No independent verification confirms full Russian entry, amid contested frontline reports of airstrikes, infantry assaults, and Ukrainian counterstrikes. Traders monitor for confirmed geolocations or escalations that could enable further encirclement of Pokrovsk supply routes, with no major diplomatic shifts in the past 30 days.

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.
