This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Ukraine captures any territory in Crimea by June 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET. Territory will will be considered captured if any part of Crimea shaded blue on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. Otherwise, the market will resolve to “No”. The border around Crimea shaded in black on the ISW map will not qualify. Once Ukraine captures territory in Crimea, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market. If Ukraine comes into control of territory in Crimea as a result of a negotiated settlement, this will qualify for a 'Yes' resolution, regardless of if it is shaded blue in the ISW map. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement which 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 which will not be considered. Ukrainian deep strikes have intensified against Russian military assets in occupied Crimea, including radars near Yevpatoriia, Black Sea Fleet warships in Sevastopol, command posts, and logistics hubs via the damaged Kerch Bridge and ferries as recently as April 28-29, per Institute for the Study of War assessments. These actions degrade air defenses and supply lines but have yielded no verified territorial recaptures amid Crimea's extensive fortifications, entrenched Russian troop concentrations, and Ukraine's manpower constraints on eastern fronts where Russia advanced 1,700 square kilometers this year. With two months until June 30 resolution based on ISW maps, traders' 97.5% "No" consensus reflects formidable barriers to ground or amphibious assaults, though surges in Western long-range missiles or F-16s could theoretically enable breakthroughs.
