  • Will Ukraine agree to cede territory to Russia before 2027? — the market puts it at 8%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to "Yes" if Ukraine agrees to cede territory to Russia in a publicly announced deal by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The agreement must involve the transfer of de facto military control or a formal concession, confirmed by an official announcement from either side or overwhelming consensus among credible news sources.
  • Will Russia announce a new forced mobilization by September 30, 2026? — resolved “No” on 1 Oct 2026.
  • Ukraine signs peace deal with Russia before 2027? — the market puts it at 8%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Ukraine signs a written agreement ending hostilities or establishing a path to peace by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The document must include an official signature from an authorized Ukrainian representative and apply to the broader conflict rather than a temporary or local arrangement. Readers often mistake unrelated sanctions bills or unsigned proposals for valid resolutions.
