This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the Kupyansjk-Vuzlovij railroad station located between Zaliznychna Vulytsia and Zaliznychnykiv Ploshcha (49.654359° N, 37.644326° E) by September 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The railroad station will be considered captured if any part of the train station icon 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 September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, 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 railroad station, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.

Note: Any temporary glitches or errors in the map will not be considered.Russian forces have conducted limited offensive operations near Kupiansk in Kharkiv Oblast through summer 2026 but recorded no meaningful advances toward Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, a key rail junction south of the city. Ukrainian counterattacks in December 2025 liberated most of Kupiansk after earlier Russian infiltration attempts, leaving only minimal unconsolidated Russian presence according to open-source assessments. Recent reports indicate Russian Western Grouping units face drone interdiction, personnel shortages, and fuel constraints, prompting some Russian sources to defer a Kupyansk seizure objective until spring 2027. Ukrainian forces continue localized counterattacks north of Kupiansk while maintaining control over Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, which lies away from the immediate contact line. Ongoing Russian glide bomb strikes and small-group infiltration efforts persist amid stalled broader momentum.

Note: Any temporary glitches or errors in the map will not be considered.Russian forces have conducted limited offensive operations near Kupiansk in Kharkiv Oblast through summer 2026 but recorded no meaningful advances toward Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, a key rail junction south of the city. Ukrainian counterattacks in December 2025 liberated most of Kupiansk after earlier Russian infiltration attempts, leaving only minimal unconsolidated Russian presence according to open-source assessments. Recent reports indicate Russian Western Grouping units face drone interdiction, personnel shortages, and fuel constraints, prompting some Russian sources to defer a Kupyansk seizure objective until spring 2027. Ukrainian forces continue localized counterattacks north of Kupiansk while maintaining control over Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, which lies away from the immediate contact line. Ongoing Russian glide bomb strikes and small-group infiltration efforts persist amid stalled broader momentum.
