4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire in 2026 at just 9%, consistent with the collapse of US-led energy truce efforts.
The failed energy ceasefire and resumed infrastructure strikes directly undercut the diplomatic pathway that ceasefire optimists had cited.
The companion Polymarket contract on Nord Stream pipeline restarting before 2027 (CM-EVT-ZXVZRRJFH4) sits at 3%, reinforcing a broad no-normalization consensus.
Resolves via UMA oracle; with under 11 weeks left in 2026, the 9% probability implies the market sees near-certain continuation of active conflict through year-end.
