| Outcome | Probability | 24h |

| EU/NATO country announces peacekeeping force in Ukraine by December 31? | 4.0% | 0.0 |
| EU/NATO country announces peacekeeping force in Ukraine by June 30? | 0.0% | 0.0 |
The "by December 31" scenario is the headline, with markets pricing it at 4.0% (a long shot). The alternative—where an announcement either comes later or not at all—is treated as the default and carries negligible probability as a distinct trading outcome.
Context
The contract changed hands at 4.0% as of the latest update. In the past day, the price shifted 0.0 pts. For a Yes resolution, an EU or NATO member must, by June 30, 2026, officially declare it will send troops to Ukraine as peacekeepers. The declaration must be part of a formal agreement or otherwise represent a formalized policy—hypothetical or contingent statements do not meet the bar. The primary resolution sources are official announcements from NATO, the EU, or the member state, with consensus credible reporting serving as a fallback. The most direct driver is the approach of the Jan 1, 2027 deadline. Absent a qualifying announcement, the probability is likely to grind lower. Conversely, a concrete diplomatic breakthrough that signals an imminent formal declaration—consistent with the resolution criteria—could abruptly push the odds up.
FAQ
What qualifies as an official announcement?
A formal statement from an EU or NATO member country, made as part of a formal agreement or policy, confirming troops will be sent to Ukraine as a peacekeeping force. Vague statements of intent do not count.
When is the resolution deadline?
The market considers announcements made by June 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. That is the final cutoff for a Yes resolution.
Are all EU and NATO countries included?
Yes, any country that is a full member of either organization at the time of the announcement qualifies.
What if the announcement is made by a non-member leading the force?
That would not trigger a Yes. The announcement must come directly from an EU or NATO member government.
How is the outcome determined?
Primarily from official NATO, EU, or member-state information. If no clear official word exists, the market can resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting.
