4-bullet brief | narrative

The Polymarket contract on Ukraine signing a peace deal with Russia before 2027 sits at 12%.
US envoys flagged diplomatic movement, yet markets price only a 12% chance of a formal deal, showing strong skepticism toward the diplomatic signals.
Russia's missile strike on Kyiv immediately after envoys left is consistent with the market's low probability on a near-term agreement.
A separate Polymarket contract on a Russia-Ukraine peace agreement by 2026 (CM-EVT-66S3LD3901) prices at 8%, suggesting the market sees even a loose accord as unlikely this calendar year.
