Russian forces have conducted only incremental assaults and small-unit infiltrations near Moskovka, a settlement in Kharkiv Oblast northeast of Kupyansk, with limited verified territorial gains on ISW maps amid Ukrainian counterattacks and interdiction of logistics since late 2025. Trader sentiment in related Polymarket contracts reflects these battlefield constraints, manpower pressures, and the absence of major breakthroughs in the sector, pricing low probabilities for rapid Russian entry by mid-2026 resolution dates. Ukrainian defensive adaptations, redeployments, and strikes continue to shape the pace, while Russia's September 2026 parliamentary elections could influence future resource allocation and offensive tempo without altering the immediate frontline dynamics.

Territory will be considered captured if any part of the specified territory is shaded under a below specified layer on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. Otherwise, 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 Infiltration Areas in Ukraine", “Assessed Russian Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Russia comes into control of the specified 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. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
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.
