Russian forces have seized most of Chasiv Yar after more than two years of fighting that began in April 2024, including districts east and west of the central canal, but Ukrainian units continue to hold positions in southern outskirts and adjacent settlements as of early September 2026. Recent Russian advances of roughly 3.5 square kilometers in areas such as Shevchenko, Yuzhny, and Zemlianky in late August reflect incremental gains through small-group infantry assaults, drone strikes, and artillery pressure. Ukrainian counterattacks earlier in 2026 and ongoing defensive operations have prevented full consolidation, while Russian progress has been slowed by supply constraints and high attrition. Control of remaining pockets would open routes toward Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, making the pace of any final push the key variable for market resolution timing.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the entirety of Chasiv Yar, Donetsk Oblast, (48.589446° N, 37.831430° E) between market creation and the specified date (ET).
Chasiv Yar will be considered captured if the entirety of the municipality 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 resolution 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.
The territory of the municipality is shaded in light grey and is distinguished from bordering municipalities with a darker grey line. If all area within the municipality is shaded in red, however, the shading does not precisely match up with the border such that there is a tiny amount of grey along the border of the city, this will still qualify for a "Yes" resolution.
Once Russia captures the entirety of Chasiv Yar, 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.
If Russia comes into control of this territory as a result of a negotiated settlement, this will qualify for a 'Yes' resolution, regardless of if it is shaded red in the ISW map.
