Real price history (past month), from Polymarket. Down-sampled to 24 points.
What the market is pricing
The market prices this outcome at single-digit, unlikely odds, reflecting a low probability of full Russian capture within the timeframe. The odds have remained unchanged over the past day, though they have shifted down by a small margin over the week, suggesting modest erosion in conviction about the scenario. At this level, most traders view complete Russian control of the entire municipality as a long shot.
How this market resolves
This market resolves Yes if the ISW map shows the entirety of Stepnohirsk municipality in Zaporizhzhia Oblast shaded red by September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET; it resolves No otherwise.

What could move it
- The ISW map designation is the sole arbiter—any official territorial shift short of full municipality control will not trigger a Yes resolution.
- Over a year remains until the September 2026 deadline, leaving room for battlefield developments or map updates to move odds, though thin margins on single-digit probabilities limit how far they can drop further.
