How this market settles

This market will resolve to "Yes" if there is a diplomatic meeting between representatives of Russia and Ukraine aimed at discussing a ceasefire, peace agreement, or other substantive de-escalation of the ongoing conflict by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A diplomatic meeting refers to a deliberate meeting between representatives of the listed countries who are acting in an official capacity and are authorized to engage in negotiation or diplomacy regarding Russia-Ukraine relations on behalf of their governments. Meetings conducted indirectly, for example, through designated mediators, facilitators, or interlocutors acting with the knowledge and authorization of the relevant governments, will qualify. Meetings or talks limited to humanitarian issues will not qualify unless they also include substantive negotiation regarding broader Russia-Ukraine peace terms, such as a ceasefire, peace agreement, territorial issues, security guarantees, or similar. Brief greetings, chance encounters, or talks otherwise not deliberately aimed at diplomacy or negotiation will not count. The meeting must be in-person (including indirect in-person meetings) and must be publicly acknowledged by either government or reported by a consensus of credible media. Remote meetings, phone calls, or other meetings where the relevant parties are not present will not count. The resolution sources for this market will be official information from the governments of Russia and Ukraine, and a consensus of credible reporting.

What could still go wrong

  • 'Consensus of credible media' is undefined — no specific threshold (e.g., number of outlets) or list of qualifying outlets is specified
  • 'Substantive de-escalation' and 'substantive negotiation' are subjective terms that could be disputed in borderline cases
  • 'Authorized to engage in negotiation or diplomacy' is ambiguous — unclear what level of official authorization qualifies a representative
  • Indirect meetings through mediators qualify, but the threshold for what counts as 'authorized' mediators acting 'with the knowledge and authorization of relevant governments' is unclear
  • Timezone ambiguity: end date metadata states 2026-12-01T04:59:00Z which corresponds to 11:59 PM ET on November 30, but ET offset (EST vs EDT) in late November is EST (UTC-5), making the cutoff consistent
  • No specific source hierarchy is defined when official government acknowledgment and credible media reporting conflict with each other
