This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the Lyman railroad station located on Vulytsya Pryvokzalʹna by April 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The railroad station will be considered captured if any part of the train station icon 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 April 30, 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. 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 which gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established. Once Russia captures the railroad station, 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.Russian forces have intensified probing assaults in the Lyman direction as part of their spring 2026 offensive toward Ukraine's Donetsk Fortress Belt, but Ukrainian defenders repelled eight attacks on April 2 near Nadiia, Novoserhiivka, and other frontline villages, destroying assault groups with drones and artillery. Earlier March mechanized pushes involving over 500 troops, dozens of vehicles, and ATVs across seven axes collapsed without breakthroughs, inflicting heavy Russian losses—up to 90% of equipment in some cases per brigade reports. ISW notes slowed Russian momentum despite reinforcements, with no territorial gains toward Lyman, still under Ukrainian control. Traders weigh ongoing attrition, Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, and potential escalation against manpower constraints ahead of any resolution deadline.

Earlier March mechanized pushes involving over 500 troops, dozens of vehicles, and ATVs across seven axes collapsed without breakthroughs, inflicting heavy Russian losses—up to 90% of equipment in some cases per brigade reports. ISW notes slowed Russian momentum despite reinforcements, with no territorial gains toward Lyman, still under Ukrainian control. Traders weigh ongoing attrition, Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, and potential escalation against manpower constraints ahead of any resolution deadline.
