Intro
This market tracks whether Russian forces will capture a specific intersection in Myropillia, Sumy Oblast, as indicated by red shading on the Institute for the Study of War map. On Polymarket, the probability of Russian capture by July 31, 2026 stands at 25.0%, while capture by May 31, 2026 is priced at 1.8%. Resolution will be determined by the ISW Ukraine map, with DeepStateMap as a secondary source if needed. Watch the ISW daily map updates through July 31, 2026 for any persistent red shading at the specified coordinates indicating Russian control.
Polymarket
This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the intersection at 51.026680° N, 35.262808° E in Myropillia, Sumy Oblast, by the specified date 11:59 PM ET. The intersection will be considered captured if any part of the intersection is shaded red on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. If the area is not shaded red by the specified date, 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 Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify. “Assessed Russian Infiltration Areas in Ukraine” will not qualify. If Russia comes into control of this 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. An announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established. Once Russia captures the intersection, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.

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.

The Will Russia capture Myropillia by...? market resolves on Dec 31, 2026. Resolution hinges on whether Russia has captured and maintains control of Myropillia by that date. The determination relies on verified reports from credible news sources, military assessments, and on-the-ground confirmation of territorial control. Ambiguous or contested situations—such as partial occupation or temporary advances followed by retreat—are evaluated against the market's resolution criteria to determine a definitive yes or no outcome. Traders should monitor official announcements and reputable conflict reporting as the deadline approaches.
Major military offensives, battlefield gains, or losses near Myropillia would directly impact odds.

Diplomatic developments—ceasefire negotiations, peace talks, or escalation—often trigger sharp repricing. Intelligence reports on Russian military strength, morale, or logistical capacity influence confidence in capture scenarios. Seasonal factors and weather patterns affecting combat operations may also move the market. Additionally, statements from NATO, the U.S., or Ukrainian leadership regarding Myropillia's strategic value or defensibility can sway sentiment.
