Turns on whether ISW map updates retroactively showing prior Russian control of Dobropillia satisfy the resolution condition.

Resolution rules (verbatim)
This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures any territory of Dobropillia by October 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.
This market refers to the city of Dobropillia (48.47, 37.08), which borders Sviatohorivka and Hannivka. Other Ukrainian towns/cities named Dobropillia will not be considered for resolution.
Territory will be considered captured if any part of Dobropillia is shaded under a below specified layer on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. Otherwise, the market will resolve to “No”.
For any change on the ISW map to qualify for this market’s resolution, the relevant shading indicating Russian control must persist through the next full ISW daily update cycle. If ISW skips a day, shading must persist until the next finalized ISW update is published, regardless of the date. Any continuous shading which reflects either "Assessed Russian Infiltration Areas in Ukraine", “Assessed Russian Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify.
Once a qualifying condition is met, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
If Russia comes into control of the specified territory as a result of a negotiated settlement, this will qualify for a 'Yes' resolution, regardless of whether it is shaded red in the ISW map. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
The primary resolution source for this market will be the ISW Ukraine map. If the ISW map is rendered unavailable, information from DeepStateMap (https://deepstatemap.live/) may be used. If information from both the ISW and DeepStateMap are rendered permanently unavailable, a consensus of credible reporting may be used.
Note: Any temporary glitches or errors in the map will not be considered.
Relies on ISW interpretation and update patterns; unclear if a retroactive map change (e.g., ISW later shades territory it previously didn't) counts as Russia 'entering' by October 31.

Yeah, these rules need work. We either need coordinates or a link to the location on Google Maps, so we know which Dobropillia is being bet on.

Asking on Discord for clarification, but I would advise that you are careful if you intend to rely on this. Not sayign you're wrong, just that I personally wouldn't like to risk money on you being right as far as resolvers are concerned.

Now it's looks like the proposer can manipulate with this market. The rules are clear price drops and the proposer can buy all cheep shares right after propose or buy no shares with every increase in price and later say that it were other Dobropillia. Some shady stuff here

The idiot commissar is right. Polymarket should provide a clarification to specify the resolution criteria. It’s obvious that this refers to the city of Dobropillia.

This indicates that Dobropillia in Donetsk is more militarily important than Dobropillia in Zaporizhzhia, so the former is more likely to be the Dobropillia referred to in the title.

It doesn't matter. The rules in this market don't specify which Dobropillia.

have a look at the resolved bet on Dobropilla. The rules there specifies the area. In this bet the rulers are dumb, but it is the same city. + as I said use your brain and think about whether the polymarket will create a bet on taking a small village and even with a date before January

With those new rules, YES becomes almost certain.
