Ukrainian forces have conducted a sustained counteroffensive in the Oleksandrivka direction along the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk-Zaporizhzhia border since January 2026, liberating roughly 626 square kilometers and 26 settlements by mid-August. This has produced localized Ukrainian advances near areas including Maliivka and positions southeast of Oleksandrivka, where Obratne and Temyrivka lie amid contested roads and logistics routes. Russian units continue limited infiltration attempts and glide-bomb strikes without confirmed territorial gains in the sector, while Ukrainian drone and missile interdiction has disrupted some Russian air and supply operations. Trader positioning reflects the incremental nature of these frontline shifts, the absence of major escalations or ceasefires in the past month, and uncertainty over whether Ukrainian momentum will extend to specific villages before any seasonal or operational pause.

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.
