Russian forces have made only incremental gains near Mykhailivka in Kherson Oblast over the past week, with Ukrainian troops repelling assaults and maintaining frontline positions east of the Dnieper River, as shown in geolocated reports from mapping services like DeepState. Spring rasputitsa has bogged down mechanized advances, limiting Russian momentum despite intensified artillery and infantry pressure. Traders' 73.5% "No" consensus reflects the short timeline to April 30, historical slow progress in this sector—often mere hundreds of meters daily—and bolstering Ukrainian defenses from recent U.S. aid deliveries, including artillery shells arriving this month. No major escalation signals or encirclement attempts have emerged in the last 48 hours to shift odds significantly.
Experimental AI-generated summary referencing Polymarket data · UpdatedTerritory 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.
