Russian forces continue pressing assaults toward Sofiivka in Donetsk Oblast's Pokrovsk direction, where heavy fighting persists amid Ukraine's defensive lines. Over the past week, geolocated footage and frontline maps from sources like DeepStateUA show incremental Russian advances on the village's outskirts, following captures of nearby settlements like Shevchenko, but full control remains contested with Ukrainian troops holding key positions despite reported shortages in artillery shells and personnel. No verified capture has occurred in the last 48 hours, reflecting slowed momentum from autumn rains hampering mechanized operations. Traders weigh ongoing escalation risks, potential reinforcements to Ukraine via Western aid deliveries, and winter weather as factors that could tip the balance before any resolution deadline, underscoring the fluid frontline dynamics in this sector.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the intersection at 48.494433° N, 37.377320° E in Sofiivka, Donetsk Oblast, by March 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.
The intersection will be considered captured if any part of the intersection is shaded red on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. If the area is not shaded red by the specified date, 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 Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify. “Assessed Russian Infiltration Areas in Ukraine” will not qualify.
If Russia comes into control of this 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. An announcement of a negotiated settlement which gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
Once Russia captures the intersection, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
