    "A companion Polymarket contract on US recognition of Russian sovereignty over Ukraine prices at 3%, reinforcing the market view that no comprehensive settlement is near.",
    "Resolution via UMA oracle requires a formal Ukrainian agreement to cede territory, the high threshold keeps this a long shot even if localized ceasefires emerge."
