Russian forces have conducted limited attacks and infiltration attempts toward Drobysheve, a small settlement northwest of Lyman in Donetsk Oblast, but Ukrainian defenses have prevented consolidation of positions or full control as of mid-2026. Broader Russian offensive momentum has slowed sharply, with only 14 square kilometers captured nationwide in May—the lowest monthly rate in years—while Ukrainian forces reported net territorial gains exceeding 600 square kilometers year-to-date. Ongoing artillery, drone, and glide-bomb strikes continue in the Lyman sector without shifting frontline control, reflecting high costs and Ukrainian adaptation. Trader-implied probabilities remain heavily weighted against near-term capture across resolution dates, consistent with the pattern of incremental fighting and stalled advances in this sector.

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.
