4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices an 11% chance of a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire in 2026, keeping it firmly in long-shot territory.
The US proposal of economic incentives to Moscow is a concrete diplomatic step, yet the market treats it as insufficient to shift the odds materially.
Companion Polymarket contract on Trump, Putin, and Zelenskyy being seen together before 2027 sits at just 6%, signaling the market sees no imminent summit catalyst.
Ukraine agreeing to cede territory to Russia by 2026 is priced at only 7% on Polymarket, suggesting the market sees neither a ceasefire nor a territorial concession as likely this year.
