This is a market on whether Sergey Lavrov and Antony Blinken meet in person by February 28, 2022 (11:59:59 PM ET). This market will resolve to "Yes" if Sergey Lavrov and Antony Blinken meet in person at any point between February 18, 2022, and February 28, 2022 (11:59:59 PM ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

The primary resolution sources for this market will be https://www.state.gov/, https://www.mid.ru/en/, and/or information from other official webpages and verified accounts from the governments of the United States of America and the Russian Federation, however credible media sources will also suffice.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if an official agreement on nuclear arms control or strategic nuclear weapons limitation is reached between the United States and the Russian Federation between December 9, 2025 and June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.

Only agreements that are publicly announced and acknowledged by both the U.S. and Russia will qualify. The agreement must pertain to nuclear arms control or limitation—such as a treaty, framework, or memorandum—addressing matters including (but not limited to) nuclear warheads, delivery systems, verification mechanisms, or strategic stability.

Agreements that include both the United States and Russia as named parties—whether bilateral or as part of a broader multilateral framework—will qualify, provided the agreement directly addresses nuclear arms control.

The agreement does not need to be ratified or implemented for this market to resolve "Yes"; a formal announcement of a concluded agreement is sufficient.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the U.S. government (e.g., the White House, State Department) and/or the Russian Federation (e.g., the Kremlin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs). However, a clear and overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming that such an agreement has been reached will also qualify.

Military contractors will qualify only if confirmed to be operating under the direct command or coordination of the respective state’s armed forces (e.g. the Battle of Khasham would not qualify).
