This market will resolve to "Yes" if a deal in which Ukraine agrees to cede any territory under its control at the time of the agreement is reached between the Russian Federation and Ukraine by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The deal must be a publicly announced mutual agreement or otherwise confirmed by an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting. If such an agreement is officially reached before the resolution date, this market will resolve to "Yes", regardless of if/when the agreement goes into effect. Only territory ceded as part of a diplomatic process or agreement will qualify. If a territorial adjustment is made as part of a mutual border demarcation process or technical boundary agreement that does not materially alter de facto control or reflect a broader territorial concession, it will not qualify for a 'Yes' resolution unless it is reported as a territorial concession by a consensus of credible reporting. Any agreement which cedes de facto military control of territory held by Ukraine will qualify regardless of whether Ukraine formally maintains its claim to sovereignty. For example, the 1999 Kumanovo Military Technical Agreement, in which Yugoslavia agreed to pull military forces out of Kosovo but did not recognize Kosovo’s autonomy or independence would qualify for a 'Yes' resolution. The primary resolution source for this market will be an official announcement by Ukraine and/or the Russian Federation, however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming an agreement has been reached will also qualify.Trader consensus prices "No" at 78.5% for Ukraine agreeing to cede territory to Russia before 2027, reflecting Kyiv's firm rejection of territorial concessions amid stalled U.S.-brokered peace talks. President Zelenskyy has repeatedly insisted on full territorial integrity, recently clashing with U.S. Secretary Rubio over claims that security guarantees require Donbas handover—denied by Washington, which conditions aid on war's end without explicit cession demands. Talks paused since mid-March due to Moscow's insistence on eastern land strips, reinforced by Ukrainian intelligence chief Budanov's vow to liberate all occupied areas. Russian threats to halt negotiations underscore the impasse, with no breakthrough evident despite prior Geneva and Abu Dhabi rounds, leaving escalation risks high into 2027.
