This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the intersection at 48.810403° N, 37.851396° E in Rai-Oleksandrivka, Donetsk Oblast, by the specified date 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 that 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.

Note: Any temporary glitches or errors in the map will not be considered.Russian forces view Rai-Oleksandrivka as a key tactical objective east of Slovyansk in Donetsk Oblast, required to enable any broader push toward the city. Ukrainian forces have conducted a sustained counteroffensive in the Oleksandrivka sector since January 2026, liberating roughly 745 square kilometers and 26 settlements while clearing Russian infiltrators from additional ground. As of late August 2026, Russian infiltration attempts near Rai-Oleksandrivka continue, prompting Ukrainian strikes on those positions. Russian claims of advances in the direction have been frequent but frequently disputed by independent assessments. Trader sentiment reflects this grinding contest, where incremental Russian progress depends on overcoming Ukrainian defensive measures and sustaining momentum amid ongoing Ukrainian counteractions in the sector.
