This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the intersection at 48.313021° N, 36.925497° E in Serhiivka, Donetsk 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 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.Trader consensus heavily favors no Russian capture of Serhiivka by April 30, driven by Ukrainian forces' firm defensive hold on the village northwest of Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast amid stalled Russian offensives. Recent Institute for the Study of War assessments through early April detail repeated but unconfirmed Russian assaults near Serhiivka, Hryshyne, and Bilytske, repelled by Ukrainian counterstrikes, drone interceptions, and exploitation of Russian logistical strains like food shortages and communication failures. Overall Russian territorial gains remain minimal—under 2,000 square kilometers since late 2025—concentrated elsewhere on the 1,200-kilometer frontline. A dramatic shift would require unprecedented reinforcements or a Ukrainian collapse in the sector before the deadline, scenarios deemed improbable given current momentum.
