Ukrainian forces have conducted a sustained counteroffensive along the Oleksandrivka axis in Zaporizhzhia and adjacent oblasts since January 2026, recapturing dozens of settlements and hundreds of square kilometers while pushing Russian units back from parts of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Uspenivka remains under Russian control as a fortified position east of Hulyaipole, with no confirmed Ukrainian territorial gains there in recent ISW assessments. Russian forces continue defensive operations and strikes in the sector amid broader attrition across Donetsk fronts such as Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka. Trader consensus on limited near-term recapture odds reflects the incremental pace of Ukrainian advances, entrenched Russian lines, and resource allocation toward higher-priority axes, though further counteroffensive momentum or Russian force reallocations could alter positioning before year-end resolution windows.

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.
