Russia-Ukraine ceasefire in 2026 stays a long shot at 14 percent

Polymarket 14%

4-bullet brief | narrative
  • Polymarket puts a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire in 2026 at 14%, firmly in long-shot territory.
  • Zelenskyy's push for an energy truce at UNGA is a constructive signal, but Russian missile and drone strikes on four Ukrainian regions continued the same day.
  • Companion Polymarket contract on Trump, Putin, and Zelenskyy being seen together before 2027 sits at 8%, suggesting the market sees trilateral diplomacy as even less likely than a ceasefire.
  • Resolves via uma oracle; the multi-deadline series structure means each approaching deadline that passes without a ceasefire drags the annual contract lower.
