Russian forces have conducted repeated artillery, missile, and drone strikes against Malokaterynivka and surrounding settlements northwest of Orikhiv in Zaporizhzhia Oblast as part of efforts to reach tube-artillery range of Zaporizhzhia city, while Ukrainian units have maintained defensive positions and executed localized counterattacks that disrupted Russian infiltration attempts in nearby areas such as Stepnohirsk and Prymorske. Recent reporting indicates Ukrainian forces cleared some Russian positions west of Orikhiv and shifted the 58th Combined Arms Army toward active defense after earlier Russian gains around Hulyaipole, limiting further southward momentum in this sector. Ongoing strikes on regional infrastructure and settlements continue amid a broader pattern of gradual Russian pressure across southern axes, though no confirmed Russian entry into Malokaterynivka itself has been verified in the past month. Trader assessments of entry timelines by late 2026 will likely respond to any shifts in Ukrainian defensive depth, Russian force concentrations, or successful Ukrainian counter-moves along the Orikhiv vector.

Territory will be considered captured if any part of Malokaterynivka is shaded under a below specified layer on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. Otherwise, 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 Infiltration Areas in Ukraine", “Assessed Russian Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Russia comes into control of the specified 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. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
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.
