Ukrainian forces face significant barriers to recapturing Obratne and Temyrivka, small settlements northeast of Hulyaipole in Zaporizhia Oblast seized by Russian troops in mid-to-late 2025 amid advances along the Velyka Novosilka-Hulyaipole axis. As of mid-2026, Russian daily gains have slowed markedly while Ukrainian units have recorded net territorial recoveries in western Zaporizhia and southern sectors through drone strikes and localized mechanized pushes, yet no confirmed Ukrainian re-entry into these specific villages has occurred. Broader factors include sustained Russian defensive fortifications, manpower constraints on both sides, and Ukrainian emphasis on deep-strike campaigns against logistics rather than immediate frontal assaults in this sector. Any near-term shifts would likely hinge on intensified Ukrainian operations around Hulyaipole or major changes in Russian force allocation along the front.

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.
