2 prediction markets price this story:

• Will Zelenskyy and Putin meet next in Hungary before 2027? — the market puts it at 0%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if Zelenskyy and Putin meet in person in Hungary before December 31, 2026. The No outcome applies if they do not meet there by that deadline or if no meeting happens at all before 2027. Readers often mistake the resolution date for the end of 2027 instead of the specified December 31, 2026 cutoff.
• Will Russia and Ukraine hold any diplomatic meeting by September 30, 2026? — resolved “No” on 1 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Russian and Ukrainian officials hold an in-person diplomatic meeting by September 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The event must be publicly acknowledged by either government or reported by a consensus of credible media. Readers often mistake indirect talks through mediators for non-qualifying events, but these do count if authorized by the governments.
