Russian forces have intensified offensives around Pokrovka, a key village southwest of Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast, with incremental advances reported in adjacent areas like Shevchenko and Vodiane over the past week, per frontline updates from both sides. Ukrainian defenses, bolstered by fortifications and drone strikes, have slowed the push, maintaining control of the settlement amid heavy fighting. Trader consensus reflects caution, pricing low odds on capture by the deadline due to Russia's methodical pace—averaging 100-200 meters daily—and looming winter conditions that could hamper mobility. Upcoming aid deliveries to Ukraine and potential Russian reinforcements may shift dynamics, underscoring the fluid frontline where small gains carry high costs.

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.

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.
