The rules clearly specify what constitutes a qualifying agreement, specifically excluding unilateral pauses, informal understandings, or localized and target-specific restrictions. However, resolution allows for determination via a consensus of credible reporting if joint official announcements are lacking, leaving room for interpretation if media accounts diverge on whether a deal constitutes an explicit, dated, mutually agreed suspension of military engagement across the entire conflict. Additionally, an agreement finalized before the deadline triggers a positive outcome even if the actual cessation of fighting is scheduled to take effect after the date.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if there is a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A ceasefire agreement refers to any mutually-agreed suspension of direct military engagement between Russia and Ukraine, which is either officially announced by both countries or confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting to have been mutually agreed by both countries. A broader peace deal, normalization agreement, political framework, truce, or humanitarian pause will qualify if it includes a mutually agreed suspension of direct military engagement, to be effective on a specified date. Agreements that outline future negotiations or de-escalation measures without an explicit, dated commitment to stop fighting will not qualify. Any form of informal understanding, backchannel communication, de-escalation without an announced agreement, or unilateral pause in hostilities will not be considered a ceasefire agreement. Only agreements which constitute a general pause in the conflict will qualify. Agreements which only apply to specific conflict categories (e.g. restrictions on certain target categories or certain locations) will not qualify. If a qualifying agreement is officially reached before this market’s end date, this market will resolve to “Yes,” regardless of whether the ceasefire agreement officially takes effect after that date. The primary resolution sources for this market will be official information from the governments of Russia and Ukraine and a consensus of credible reporting.
Market explained
This market measures whether Russia and Ukraine will reach a mutually agreed ceasefire agreement by September 30, 2027. It allows broader peace frameworks to qualify if they mandate a general suspension of fighting, even if the ceasefire takes effect after the deadline.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if a general ceasefire agreement or broader peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is officially announced by both countries or confirmed by credible reporting by September 30, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. The agreement must include an explicit, dated commitment to suspend direct military engagement across the whole conflict, and reaching the agreement in time suffices even if it takes effect later. The market resolves to No if no qualifying general agreement is reached by the deadline. Informal understandings, backchannels, unilateral pauses, or agreements limited to specific locations or target categories do not qualify. Resolution is determined by official government statements from Russia and Ukraine along with a consensus of credible reporting.
