**Ukrainian forces continue to hold defensive positions around Orikhiv in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, repelling Russian probes and maintaining control of key approach settlements such as Novodanylivka as of early September 2026.** Russian units have conducted small-scale assaults, glide-bomb strikes, and attempted infiltrations by sabotage groups near Mala Tokmachka, Stepnohirsk, and other villages, but Ukrainian reports indicate these efforts were halted without territorial gains into the town itself. The sector has seen persistent Russian pressure through artillery, drones, and incremental advances elsewhere in the oblast, yet no operationally significant breakthrough has materialized near Orikhiv despite earlier 2026 activity. Trader consensus on related Polymarket contracts reflects these barriers, with low implied probabilities for Russian capture of the train station or town territory by late September or year-end deadlines. Ukrainian counteractions, fortified lines, and resource allocation to other fronts limit near-term Russian momentum, though sustained strikes on logistics and weather-dependent infiltration attempts remain factors that could influence future assessments.

The train station will be considered captured if any part of the 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 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 train station, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
