Russian advances along the Pokrovsk axis in Donetsk Oblast have become the primary driver of trader sentiment favoring a Yes outcome for Russian capture of Bilytske, with geolocated footage from November 12 confirming advances into the village's northern outskirts amid ongoing assaults. Ukrainian forces report holding defensive lines despite manpower strains and delayed reinforcements, while Russian troops leverage incremental gains from recent captures of nearby settlements like Shevchenko and Voskresenka. Institute for the Study of War assessments highlight Russia's operational momentum, though fierce resistance persists. Traders weigh these dynamics against the deadline, with upcoming weather deterioration and potential U.S. aid flows as key variables that could shift probabilities.

The building will be considered captured if any part of the building is shaded red under a below-specified layer 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 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.
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 building under the above-specified conditions, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.

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 is rendered permanently unavailable, a consensus of credible reporting may be used.
Note: Any temporary glitches or errors in the map will not be considered.
