Ukrainian forces lost control of Maliivka, a village in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, to Russian advances in July 2025 amid broader fighting along the Novopavlivka axis. As of March 2026, Russian units continued to hold the settlement while Ukrainian counterattacks in the nearby Oleksandrivka and Hulyaipole directions liberated several hundred square kilometers and forced some Russian elements onto the defensive along the Voskresenka-Maliivka line. These Ukrainian gains coincided with reduced Russian daily advance rates across the theater, improved Ukrainian drone and electronic warfare capabilities, and reports of Russian logistical strain. Market pricing on a potential Ukrainian re-entry by any given cutoff therefore reflects assessments of whether localized momentum near Dnipropetrovsk can produce a breakthrough before seasonal or reinforcement factors intervene.

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 Ukrainian 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 "Reported Ukrainian Territorial Gains in the Past 24 Hours", or “Claimed Ukrainian Counteroffensives” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Ukraine 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 blue in the ISW map. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Ukraine 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.
