One prediction market prices this story:

  • Ukraine signs peace deal with Russia by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 11%, with $5k 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.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
