Russian forces have conducted repeated probing attacks and small-unit infiltrations near Stavky, a settlement north of Lyman in Donetsk Oblast, as part of efforts along the Lyman axis and toward the broader Donetsk "fortress belt." Ukrainian units have consistently repelled these advances according to ISW assessments through mid-2026, with no confirmed territorial gains at the specified coordinates. Trader sentiment reflects this pattern of limited Russian progress amid robust Ukrainian defensive positions, manpower constraints on both sides, and Ukrainian long-range strikes disrupting Russian logistics. Upcoming developments that could shift probabilities include any confirmed breakthroughs in the Lyman or Kostiantynivka sectors, changes in artillery or drone intensity, or shifts in overall front-line momentum before resolution dates.

Territory will be considered captured if any part of the specified territory is shaded under a below specified layer on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. Otherwise, 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 Infiltration Areas in Ukraine", “Assessed Russian Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Russia comes into control of the specified 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. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
The primary resolution source for this market will be the ISW Ukraine map. If the ISW map is rendered unavailable, information from DeepStateMap (https://deepstatemap.live/) may be used. If information from both the ISW and DeepStateMap are rendered permanently unavailable, a consensus of credible reporting may be used.
Note: Any temporary glitches or errors in the map will not be considered.
