Russian forces continue incremental advances in the Dobropillya sector of Donetsk Oblast, focusing on Novyi Donbas east of the town as part of the broader Pokrovsk direction offensive. On April 23, a Russian milblogger claimed seizure of Novyi Donbas and westward progress, but ISW assessments confirmed no territorial gains following a failed infiltration mission south of nearby Zapovidne, where Ukrainian strikes targeted Russian positions. Geolocated footage shows persistent clashes, with Ukrainian units repelling assaults near Novyi Donbas, Ivanivka, and forest belts southeast. No verified entry into the settlement per ISW maps, which govern similar market resolutions; ongoing high-intensity fighting and Russian troop reinforcements could influence near-term outcomes amid Donetsk escalation.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures any territory of Novyi Donbas, Donetsk Oblast, (48.450718° N, 37.181238° E) between market creation and the specified date (ET).
Territory will be considered captured if any part of the specified territory 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.
