This market will resolve to "Yes" if there is an official ceasefire agreement, defined as a publicly announced and mutually agreed halt in military engagement, between Russia and Ukraine by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. If the agreement is officially reached before the resolution date, this market will resolve to "Yes," regardless of whether the ceasefire officially starts afterward. Only ceasefires that constitute a general pause in the conflict will qualify. Ceasefires that only apply to energy infrastructure, the Black Sea, or other similar agreements will not qualify. Any form of informal agreement will not be considered an official ceasefire. Humanitarian pauses will not count toward the resolution of this market. This market's resolution will be based on official announcements from both Russia and Ukraine; however, a wide consensus of credible media reporting stating an official ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine has been reached will suffice.Trader consensus prices a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire by end of 2026 at 29.5% ("No" at 70.5%), reflecting persistent military escalation and stalled diplomacy amid Russia's spring offensive. Institute for the Study of War reports from April 7-9 detail Russian advances near six settlements, countered by Ukrainian drone superiority, but no de-escalation signals. Putin-proposed Orthodox Easter truce on April 10 was marred by immediate Russian drone strikes on Sumy and Odesa, injuring civilians and damaging infrastructure. March peace talks collapsed over Russia's territorial demands in Donetsk and Ukraine's refusal to surrender land, with Zelenskyy prioritizing full recovery. Absent breakthroughs in upcoming US-mediated discussions, traders see prolonged stalemate.
