Russian forces completed the capture of Toretsk in Donetsk Oblast by August 2025 following more than a year of urban combat and incremental advances from surrounding settlements, shifting focus to nearby objectives such as Kostyantynivka where tactical gains continued into mid-2026. Ukrainian counteroffensives and deep strikes have produced net territorial recoveries exceeding 600 square kilometers across multiple sectors this year, including localized successes near the Slovyansk-Kramatorsk axis, while Russian operations rely on infiltration tactics, glide bombs, and massed drone strikes amid high attrition rates. Broader frontline dynamics, including Ukrainian advances reported near Borova and in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka area, alongside stalled Russian momentum in some directions, shape assessments of whether deadlines for specific settlements were met. Scheduled or ongoing developments in artillery duels, supply interdiction, and command reallocations between the Pokrovsk and Toretsk sectors remain key variables for resolution timing.

The intersection will be considered captured if any part of the intersection 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 the specified date, 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.
If Russia comes into control of this territory as a result of a negotiated settlement, this will qualify for a 'Yes' resolution, regardless of whether 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.
Once Russia captures the intersection, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
