Russian forces continued ground assaults toward Borova in Kharkiv Oblast on April 28 without advancing, as Ukrainian defenders conducted effective counterattacks, according to the Institute for the Study of War's assessment released April 29. This marks no territorial gains in the Borova direction over the past week, extending a pattern of stalled incremental pressure seen throughout March and April amid attritional frontline fighting. Ukrainian mid-range strikes have targeted Russian logistics, complicating offensives, while no confirmed Russian entry into the settlement has occurred. Key factors include troop concentrations, artillery dominance, and drone warfare; upcoming escalation signals or reinforcements could tip the balance before resolution dates.

Territory will be considered captured if any part of Borova is shaded under a below specified layer on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. Otherwise, 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 Infiltration Areas in Ukraine", “Assessed Russian Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Russia comes into control of the specified 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. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
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 will not be considered.
