The rules provide clear criteria for what constitutes a qualifying encounter, explicitly requiring direct personal interaction such as a conversation or handshake rather than mere shared presence. Territorial definitions and regional classification standards are clearly defined using the U.S. State Department list. Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting to confirm whether an interaction occurred, which leaves minor discretion to the market decider regarding reporting alignment, but the overall conditions and multi-option fallback outcomes are thoroughly specified with a clear deadline of December 31, 2027.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the location of the next meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy between market creation and December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. This market will resolve to "No meeting by December 31, 2027" if no qualifying meeting occurs during this market's timeframe. A meeting is defined as any encounter where Putin and Zelenskyy are all present and interact with each other in person. An exchange of words, handshake, direct conversation, or other clear personal interaction between the named individuals will qualify as a meeting. Merely standing in proximity, making eye contact, or being present in the same room or event without direct interaction will not qualify. For the purpose of this market, a meeting held on Ukrainian territory under the de facto control of Russia (e.g., Crimea) will be considered part of Russia. A meeting held in Vatican City will resolve to "Vatican City," not "Italy." If the next qualifying meeting takes place in any country in Europe other than the listed options, this market will resolve to "Other - Europe." If the next qualifying meeting takes place in any country in the Middle East or North Africa other than the listed options, this market will resolve to "Other - Middle East/North Africa." If the next qualifying meeting takes place in any unlisted country that is not classified in either specified region, this market will resolve to "Other." For purposes of this market, countries' regions will be determined based on the U.S. State Department's regional classifications in the "Countries and Areas List" (https://www.state.gov/countries-and-areas-list). Any country classified as part of "Europe and Eurasia" will be considered to be in Europe. Any country classified as part of "Near East (Middle East and North Africa)" will be considered to be in the Middle East/North Africa. The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
Market explained
This market measures whether the next in-person meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy occurs in Hungary by December 31, 2027. It requires direct personal interaction rather than mere shared presence.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes (or Hungary) if the next in-person meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy occurs in Hungary between market creation and December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. A qualifying meeting requires both individuals to be present and interact directly through spoken words, a handshake, or conversation; mere proximity, eye contact, or attending the same event without direct interaction does not qualify. The market resolves to No meeting by December 31, 2027 if no qualifying meeting takes place within the timeframe. If the next meeting occurs elsewhere, the market resolves to the corresponding location option, such as Other - Europe, Other - Middle East/North Africa, Vatican City, or Other, based on U.S. State Department regional classifications. Territory under de facto Russian control counts as Russia. Resolution is decided by a consensus of credible reporting.
