Viroliubivka, a frontline village north of Kostiantynivka in Donetsk Oblast, remains under Ukrainian control as of late April 2026, with geolocated footage from April 16 confirming Ukrainian positions there despite Russian artillery strikes and unverified milblogger claims of advances. Russian forces have intensified offensive operations in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area, targeting nearby Chasiv Yar and Novodmytrivka, but ISW assessments report no confirmed territorial gains in recent days due to Ukrainian counterattacks and Russian manpower shortages. Trader consensus reflects slow Russian progress amid protracted fighting, with potential shifts from escalation in airstrikes or reinforcements; market resolution hinges on ISW map verification of full Russian capture of specified coordinates.

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 that 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.
