Russian forces have conducted repeated attacks near Drobysheve, a settlement north of Lyman in Donetsk Oblast, as part of broader efforts to advance in the Lyman direction throughout early 2026. Geolocated reports from February indicated contested gray-zone fighting with Ukrainian counterattacks preventing consolidation, while Russian units from the 144th Motorized Rifle Division probed positions around Drobysheve and nearby villages like Novoselivka and Stavky. By June 2026, Russian territorial gains across the front have slowed sharply to their lowest monthly levels in years, with Ukrainian forces reporting net recaptures exceeding 600 square kilometers in 2026 amid intensified drone operations and defensive actions. No confirmed full seizure of Drobysheve has occurred, leaving the outcome dependent on sustained Russian momentum in the Donbas or shifts from Ukrainian strikes and resource allocation.

Drobysheve will be considered captured if the entirety of the municipality 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 July 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, 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.
The territory of the municipality is shaded in light grey and is distinguished from bordering municipalities with a darker grey line. If all area within the municipality is shaded in red, however, the shading does not precisely match up with the border such that there is a tiny amount of grey along the border of the city, this will still qualify for a "Yes" resolution.
Once Russia captures the entirety of Drobysheve, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.

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 which will not be considered.
If Russia comes into control of this territory as a result of a negotiated settlement, this will qualify for a 'Yes' resolution, regardless of if it is shaded red in the ISW map. An announcement of a negotiated settlement which gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
