This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the Sloviansk Slov'yans'k-Vitka train station located on Tsentralna Vulytsia by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The railroad station will be considered captured if any part of the train station 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 December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to “No”. 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 which gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established. Once Russia captures the railroad station, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.

Note: Any temporary glitches or errors in the map will not be considered.Russian forces continue preparing for potential advances on Sloviansk through battlefield air interdiction strikes on Ukrainian logistics routes, bridges, and rear areas in the Donetsk Oblast Fortress Belt as of early August 2026, alongside small-group infiltrations near settlements such as Rai-Oleksandrivka and attempts toward Mykolaivka. Verified reporting shows no confirmed Russian territorial gains or entry into Sloviansk itself, with Ukrainian forces conducting counterattacks, maintaining positions in key villages east of the city, and reporting advances northeast of Sloviansk. Exaggerated Russian claims of progress remain unverified by open-source evidence, while overall Russian advances in the sector have slowed amid high attrition. These dynamics, combined with the city's entrenched defenses and ongoing Ukrainian drone and artillery activity, shape trader assessments of the timeline and feasibility for any capture.
