Russian forces captured Maliivka, a small settlement on the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk oblast border, in late July 2025 during advances in the Novopavlivka direction, and it remains under their control per recent ISW maps as of April 2026. Ukrainian counteroffensives in adjacent Oleksandrivka and Huliaipole sectors liberated over 400 square kilometers and nearby positions like Kalynivske and Min'kivka in February-March, but failed to dislodge Russian defenses around Maliivka amid entrenched fortifications and manpower shortages. Trader consensus reflects slow Ukrainian progress in the area despite drone superiority gains and long-range strikes on Russian infrastructure. Key risks include Russian spring reinforcements or Ukrainian aid surges; a theater-wide Easter ceasefire began April 11 but saw violations.

Territory will be considered captured if any part of the specified territory 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 Ukrainian 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 "Reported Ukrainian Territorial Gains in the Past 24 Hours", or “Claimed Ukrainian Counteroffensives” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Ukraine 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 blue in the ISW map. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Ukraine 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.
