How this market settles

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Volodymyr Zelensky are photographed or videotaped together, in the same frame, between this market's creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For this market to resolve to "Yes," the images or video must be taken and released within this market's timeframe. The images or video must be authentic, not the result of artificial intelligence or video editing. The resolution source for this market will be the images or video of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Volodymyr Zelensky together.

What could still go wrong

  • 'Same frame' is not precisely defined — could raise disputes about whether all three faces must be clearly visible and identifiable or merely present in the frame
  • No specific trusted third-party verification source is named to authenticate that images are not AI-generated or edited, which could cause disputes about authenticity
  • Market creation date is not specified, creating uncertainty about the start boundary of the resolution window
  • Timezone specification (ET) could cause ambiguity around daylight saving vs. standard time (December 31 would be EST, UTC-5, consistent with the 04:59 UTC end date)
  • No definition of what constitutes 'released' — whether a leaked, unofficial, or restricted-access image qualifies is unclear
