Resolution relies on official announcements from both governments or a consensus of credible reporting, which leaves room for interpretation if negotiations produce ambiguous joint statements or disputed terms. The rules clearly state that the agreement must represent a general pause across the conflict rather than localized or sector-specific pauses, and informal backchannel agreements or unilateral pauses will not qualify. Additionally, if a qualifying agreement is officially reached before the deadline, the market resolves positively even if the actual cessation of hostilities takes effect on a date after January 31, 2027.

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 reach a mutual ceasefire agreement by January 31, 2027. It allows broader peace deals or truces if they include a general pause in conflict, even if the effective date falls after the deadline.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if Russia and Ukraine officially reach a mutually-agreed suspension of direct military engagement by January 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. Qualifying agreements must be a general pause in the conflict with an explicit, dated commitment to stop fighting, and will qualify if reached before the deadline even if the ceasefire takes effect later. Broader peace frameworks, truces, or humanitarian pauses count if they meet these terms. The market resolves to No if no qualifying agreement is reached by the deadline. Informal understandings, backchannel communications, unilateral pauses, agreements outlining future negotiations without a dated commitment to stop fighting, and agreements limited to specific targets or locations do not qualify. The deciding sources are official information from the governments of Russia and Ukraine and a consensus of credible reporting.
