Russia captured Toretsk in early August 2025 after a 14-month campaign of urban fighting that began in mid-2024, with Russian forces completing the seizure through a company-sized mechanized assault following incremental gains in surrounding settlements such as Shumy, Zalizne, and Niu-York. This outcome aligned with the Russian Southern Grouping of Forces’ emphasis on the Donetsk axis, where sustained small-unit assaults, artillery, and infiltration tactics gradually eroded Ukrainian defensive positions despite high reported casualties on both sides. By mid-2026, Russian elements operating from the Toretsk sector—sometimes referenced as the “Dzerzhinsk” tactical group—have shifted focus northwest toward Kostyantynivka, achieving limited tactical penetrations there while Ukrainian forces contest other sectors and report net territorial recoveries elsewhere. Trader consensus on markets tied to specific resolution dates reflected these battlefield dynamics, with probabilities adjusting in real time to confirmed map updates from sources such as the Institute for the Study of War and the pace of Russian advances in the immediate vicinity.

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 which 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.

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 will not be considered.
