Russian forces have made incremental advances toward Orikhiv, a key Ukrainian-held town in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, but have not entered its limits despite intensified assaults from the south near Verbove and Novopokrovka. Recent geolocated footage and Institute for the Study of War assessments confirm slow progress amid heavy Ukrainian drone and artillery resistance, with no major breakthroughs reported in the past week. Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects low implied probability of entry by the deadline, pricing in the front's attritional dynamics and Ukraine's fortified positions. Upcoming factors include potential Russian reinforcements or weather impacts on mobility, though rapid shifts remain uncertain in this grinding eastern Ukraine offensive.

Territory will be considered captured if any part of Orikhiv 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.
