This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the entirety of Vovchansk by March 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Vovchansk will be considered captured if the entirety of the municipality 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 March 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, 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. The territory of the municipality is shaded in light grey and is distinguished from bordering municipalities such as "Vovchanski Khutory" with a darker grey line. If all area within the municipality is shaded in red, however the shading does not precisely match up with the border such that there is a tiny amount of grey along the border of the city, this will still qualify for a "Yes" resolution.

Ongoing Russian assaults northeast of Kharkiv City near Vovchansk, Pishchane, and Vovchanski Khutory have yielded no confirmed advances over the past week, as Ukrainian defenses expand a "kill zone" using drones to repel infiltrations and mechanized probes. Ukrainian officials deny recent Russian gains amid intensified infantry and unmanned vehicle activity. With the market deadline of March 31 approaching, traders assess limited prospects for full capture absent major breakthroughs, amid Russia's focus on border buffer zones and Spring-Summer offensive preparations.
