This market will resolve to "Yes" if Russia commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of any NATO country by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, land de facto controlled by NATO member states or Russia as of May 28, 2025, will be considered the sovereign territory of those countries. Hybrid or “grey zone” operations conducted by unmarked personnel will qualify if they are confirmed to be Russian operatives and are intended to establish de facto control over territory, as occurred in Crimea (2014) or Donbas (2014–2022). The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible sources.This market will resolve to "Yes" if Russia commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of any NATO country between May 28 and December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET.

Lithuanian intelligence warns of Russian military buildup along NATO's eastern borders, with units trained in Ukraine potentially ready for conflict in 6 years if sanctions lift. Amid Russia's grinding Ukraine offensive, Baltic states are drafting evacuation plans and fortifying defenses, relying on NATO's Article 5. No confirmed invasion preparations signal immediate risk, but escalation rhetoric and troop concentrations sustain trader caution ahead of potential NATO summits.
