    "India's active peace mediation effort (Story 24) and US-Russia diesel deal (Story 25) add diplomatic noise but the Polymarket contract prices none of it as deal-closing.",
    "A companion Polymarket contract (CM-EVT-DCQYWYX424) on Ukraine signing any peace deal before 2027 sits at 7%, marginally above the 2026 deadline contract, implying the market sees almost no path in either horizon."
