This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the intersection Tsentralna volytsia x Peremohy volytsia at 48.492703° N, 37.607318° E in Dovha Balka, Donetsk Oblast, by the specified date 11:59 PM ET. The intersection will be considered captured if any part of the intersection is shaded red on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. If the area is not shaded red by the specified date, 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 Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify. “Assessed Russian Infiltration Areas in Ukraine” will not qualify. If Russia comes into control of this 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. An announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established. Once Russia captures the intersection, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.

Note: Any temporary glitches or errors in the map will not be considered.Ukrainian forces fully recaptured Dovha Balka on May 9 following Russian small-unit infiltrations into its eastern and southeastern sectors earlier that week, according to geolocated footage and ISW assessments. This reversal of prior Russian tactical gains on the Kostyantynivka front has left the specified central intersection free of sustained Russian control on current maps. Russian artillery continued to target Ukrainian-held positions east of the village amid limited offensive operations during the May 9–11 ceasefire window. Traders assign only modest probability to Russian capture by May 31 because the recent counterattacks have stabilized Ukrainian positions without signs of imminent large-scale Russian reinforcements or breakthroughs in the area. Ongoing localized fighting persists, but no major diplomatic or escalation signals have emerged that would alter the near-term trajectory.
