Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting rather than a single definitive authority to verify both the location and whether an encounter meets the specific interaction threshold. The rules clearly distinguish between passive co-presence and active interaction like a handshake or exchange of words, but determining whether brief or ambiguous interactions qualify will require evaluator discretion. Clear geographic fallback standards and regional mapping from the U.S. State Department minimize boundary disputes, including explicit guidance on disputed territories and microstates.

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 Qatar by December 31, 2027.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes (Qatar) if the next qualifying in-person meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy takes place in Qatar by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. A qualifying meeting requires both individuals to be present and directly interact through an exchange of words, handshake, direct conversation, or other clear personal interaction; mere proximity or presence in the same room does not count. The market resolves to No if their next meeting occurs in a different location or if no qualifying meeting occurs by the deadline. A consensus of credible reporting will decide the outcome.
