Russian forces have made only incremental, contested gains near Stavky, a small settlement north of Lyman in Donetsk Oblast, amid broader attritional fighting along the Lyman axis. Ukrainian units have repeatedly repelled Russian assault attempts and infiltration groups in the area, with recent counteroffensives eliminating much of a Russian salient north of Lyman and forcing Russian elements back toward the Zherebets River as of mid-September 2026. Independent assessments show Russian progress limited to small-scale probes rather than consolidated control, consistent with slower rates of advance across the Donbas front. Trader consensus reflects these defensive outcomes and the absence of a decisive Russian breakthrough in the sector, while monitoring any shifts from ongoing artillery duels or reinforcements ahead of the September 30 resolution window.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures any territory of Stavky, Donetsk Oblast, (49.048958° N, 37.829063° E) between market creation and the specified date (ET).
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 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 Infiltration Areas in Ukraine", “Assessed Russian Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Russia 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 red in the ISW map. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia 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.
