Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting rather than an official registry or named arbiter, leaving room for interpretation regarding what constitutes a qualifying interaction. The rules clearly define what counts as a meeting by requiring direct personal interaction like an exchange of words or a handshake while excluding mere physical proximity or eye contact, though evaluating brief or disputed interactions between world leaders will still require subjective judgement. Geographic classification is well specified via the U.S. State Department list, and specific edge cases like disputed territories and Vatican City are explicitly covered. The market has a long horizon ending December 31, 2027, but clear conditions for resolving early upon the first occurrence.

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 Egypt by December 31, 2027.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy hold their next qualifying in-person meeting in Egypt by December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. A qualifying meeting requires both individuals to be present and directly interact through an exchange of words, a handshake, direct conversation, or other clear personal interaction; mere physical proximity, eye contact, or attending the same event without direct interaction does not qualify. The market resolves to No if the next qualifying meeting occurs in another location, or if no qualifying meeting happens by the deadline. Territory under de facto Russian control counts as Russia, and Vatican City counts separately from Italy. Resolution is decided by a consensus of credible reporting.
