Description

This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the train station in Orikhiv (47.559860° N, 35.786219° E), Zaporizhzhia Oblast, by the specified date 11:59 PM ET. The train station will be considered captured if any part of the icon 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 train station, 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 outcome will be determined by verifiable geopolitical and military facts available at the resolution deadline. Traders should monitor official statements, independent reporting, and on-the-ground assessments as the deadline approaches. Any ambiguity about territorial control or the definition of capture may influence final settlement, so clarity on resolution criteria is essential for all market participants.

Several catalysts could shift odds for the Orikhiv capture market. Major military offensives or retreats by either Russia or Ukraine would directly impact expectations. Changes in weapons supply to Ukraine, sanctions escalation, or shifts in NATO involvement could alter the strategic balance. Casualty reports, supply-line disruptions, or breakthroughs in fortification technology may signal shifting momentum. Diplomatic developments or ceasefire negotiations could reduce the likelihood of further territorial gains. Weather patterns affecting combat operations, leadership changes, or public statements from military commanders often trigger repricing. Traders should track battlefield updates, defense ministry announcements, and international media coverage closely as the resolution date approaches.
