4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire in 2026 at 10%, keeping the outcome firmly in long-shot territory.
Trump's acknowledgment that both sides lack a path forward is consistent with the low ceasefire probability; the market is not moved by diplomatic ambiguity.
The companion Polymarket contract on Trump, Putin, and Zelensky meeting together before 2027 prices at 6%, and the three-way sighting contract at 2%, confirming the market sees no near-term diplomatic breakthrough.
Resolves via UMA oracle; the multi-deadline series structure means the contract resets if a ceasefire is not reached, compressing the remaining 2026 window.
