Russian forces captured Maliivka in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in October 2025 and have since incorporated the village into their defensive lines along the eastern front. Ukrainian counteroffensives in the broader Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk sectors have produced localized gains elsewhere, including incremental advances southwest of Kostyantynivka in early May 2026, yet no confirmed operations have targeted Maliivka directly. Russian units continue to conduct infiltration missions and artillery strikes in adjacent areas, supported by fortified positions that complicate any rapid Ukrainian return. The Institute for the Study of War noted Russian territorial losses across the theater in April 2026—the first net contraction since 2024—while Ukrainian long-range strikes have disrupted Russian logistics. Traders assess the short-term probability of re-entry as low absent a sustained Ukrainian offensive or major Russian withdrawal in the sector.

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 Ukrainian 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 "Reported Ukrainian Territorial Gains in the Past 24 Hours", or “Claimed Ukrainian Counteroffensives” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Ukraine 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 blue in the ISW map. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Ukraine 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.
