Closes in

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a deal in which Ukraine agrees to formally recognize Russian sovereignty over any UN-recognized Ukrainian territory is reached between the Russian Federation and Ukraine by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The deal must be a publicly announced mutual agreement. If such an agreement is officially reached before the resolution date, this market will resolve to "Yes", regardless of if/when the agreement goes into effect. An agreement by Ukraine formally recognizing Russian sovereignty over any UN-recognized Ukrainian territory for any amount of time will count. An agreement by Ukraine formally recognizing Russian sovereignty over any UN-recognized Ukrainian territory as a precondition of a more comprehensive peace process or deal will qualify, even if the agreement is not finalized or part of a formalized peace deal. The September 8, 1995, “Agreed Basic Principles” between Bosnia and Yugoslavia, which recognized the borders and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and was later formalized through the Dayton Peace Agreement, is an example of a qualifying agreement. An official unilateral pledge by Ukraine formally recognizing Russian sovereignty over any UN-recognized Ukrainian territory will qualify for a “Yes” resolution even if not part of an agreement with Russia. The April 19, 2013, Brussels Agreement between Serbia and Kosovo, in which Serbia recognized Kosovo’s de facto administration but did not formally grant de jure recognition, would not be considered a qualifying agreement under this market, as this market requires formal recognition of sovereignty rather than acknowledgment of administrative control. The primary resolution source for this market will be an official announcement by Ukraine and/or the Russian Federation, however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming an agreement has been reached will also qualify.

*PUTIN: I THINK THE UKRAINE CONFLICT IS COMING TO AN END Any end to the war will include new land claims based (in part) on battlefield front lines. 12c for this market compared to 40c for peace deal before 2027 makes this an easy choice. *PUTIN: I HOPE THE IRAN CONFLICT WILL END AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

I think there’s a cleaner path here that avoids all the messy constitutional and institutional hurdles of formally “ceding” territory. Imagine a deal where Ukraine **formally recognizes Russian sovereignty over Crimea**, but frames it as part of a **time-bound or conditional arrangement** (e.g. 50–100 years, linked to a broader settlement or future review). You’re not rewriting the entire Ukrainian constitution around territorial loss in a permanent sense — you’re structuring it as a **legal recognition within a negotiated framework**. From this market’s perspective, that should still resolve **Yes**. The rules don’t require permanence, they require **formal recognition**. So even if it’s embedded in a transitional or conditional agreement, once Ukraine makes that legal acknowledgment, the condition is met. In other words, the market is about **de jure recognition**, not about how politically or constitutionally “final” the arrangement feels in practice.

So, how did it go? Did Russia lose, and the clown? Is it spring already? RUSSIA WILL NEVER lose to anyone; it's simply impossible.

The land's ownership is unknown, but the glory has always belonged to Ukraine.

Zelenskyy: We have neither legal nor moral right to cede territory

betpro3 Dec 29

Only North Korea has recognised the newly occupied territories as Russia and only 13 countries recognise Russian soverieignty over Crimea.

Russia will lose this war this winter but Putin can not sign a peace deal without making some gains for his supporters. Therefor a symbolic area of land offered to Putin will make peace more likely. Undervalued.

you make me laugh :)

VatnikPride Nov 15

Sounds good to me: democracy and all those Western values, unlike the current oppression of minorities.

ZephyrNoir Nov 5

Ukraine's hypothetical recognition of Russian sovereignty over its regions by late 2026 would shatter NATO's eastern bulwark and ignite a cascade of separatist demands from the Baltics to the Black Sea.

RooseveltSkerrit Nov 4

Ukraine rejects Russian sovereignty claims over its territory amid ongoing war.

People betting YES on this are delusional pro-russians.

hehexdd Aug 19

Yes, since Crimea is still considered ukrainian territory by the UN.

tacticalanalysis Aug 19

Would that also include recognizing Crimea as Russian territory?

migga Aug 18

zelensky will deny, trump weaponizes denial, zelensky gtfo (elections/revolution), peace

Zelensky [link removed] - “Ukrainians did not give up Kyiv, Odesa, or Kharkiv after 2022.” Look at what is absent

buyrightbake Aug 17

All that’s left is to recognize it!

hehexdd Aug 17

"Ukraine won’t give up territory Russia hasn’t captured, Zelenskyy says", in other words, Ukraine will give up territory Russia has captured. [link removed]

Puntin won’t accept anything that is not formalised at this point. He’s never been in such a dominant position (I mean, Ukraine would have to rely on the EU only)

You’re right that those are their two options

There's more chance that Ukraine will cease to exist than that it will recognize russian sovereignty over Ukrainian territory. You don't understand how much this is important for Ukrainians.
