## The question, as the venue words it

Ukraine agrees not to join NATO by June 30, 2027?

## How this market settles

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Ukraine publicly agrees not to join NATO by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.

An official pledge by Ukraine not to join NATO will qualify for a “Yes” resolution whether as a unilateral announcement or part of an agreement with the Russian Federation.

Any agreement or pledge made before the resolution date of this market will qualify, regardless of if/when the agreement goes into effect.

An agreement by Ukraine not to join NATO for any amount of time will count (e.g. If Ukraine not to join NATO for 10 years this will qualify).

An agreement by Ukraine not to join NATO as a precondition of a more comprehensive peace process or deal will qualify, even if the agreement is not finalized or part of a formalized peace deal. The September 8, 1995 “Agreed Basic Principles” between Bosnia and Yugoslavia which recognized the borders and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and was later formalized through the Dayton Peace Agreement is an example of a qualifying agreement. 

The primary resolution source for this market will be an official announcement by the Ukraine, however an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming a qualifying agreement has been reached will also count.

## What this brief cannot settle

This brief was assembled automatically from a research report that met a published quality bar. No individual review. It rests on 30 claims from 13 publishers; anything not reported in those sources is not represented here. The report recorded 6 resolution risks, listed with this brief.

- 'Overwhelming consensus of credible reporting' is subjective and undefined — no specific number of outlets or specific outlets are named
- 'Official announcement by Ukraine' is not defined in terms of which government body or official must make it (President, Parliament, Foreign Ministry)
- Temporary pledges qualify — unclear if a vague or aspirational statement about neutrality (short of explicit non-membership pledge) would qualify
- 'Publicly agrees' threshold is ambiguous — unclear if a leaked document or back-channel agreement that becomes public counts
- The phrase 'agrees not to join NATO for any amount of time' could create disputes over whether conditional or reversible statements qualify
- Timezone ambiguity: resolution time specified as 11:59 PM ET but end date metadata shows 03:59 UTC — these align but ET could be EST or EDT depending on time of year
