Context
As of 7 min ago, the probability stands at 6.0%. The market resolves to 'Yes' if Ukraine publicly agrees not to join NATO by Jan 1, 2027. A qualifying agreement can be a unilateral statement or part of a deal with Russia. Any pledge, for any duration, counts—even if it is a precondition for peace talks and regardless of formalisation. The resolution source is an official announcement by Ukraine or an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting. The only firm deadline is the market's resolution date of Jan 1, 2027. An agreement at any point before then would move the probability. No interim milestones or scheduled events are specified in the rules.
FAQ
What counts as an agreement not to join NATO?
Any public pledge by Ukraine, whether unilateral, in a deal with Russia, or as a condition of peace talks. The pledge can be for a fixed period—such as a 10-year moratorium—and does not require a formal treaty.
When does the market resolve?
It will resolve once a qualifying agreement is confirmed, or after the deadline if none emerges. Early resolution can occur if a pledge is made before the cutoff.
What is the resolution source?
Primarily an official announcement from Ukraine. If no official statement is forthcoming, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting can trigger a 'Yes' resolution.
Does a temporary or conditional pledge count?
Yes. An agreement not to join NATO for a limited time, or one contingent on a broader peace deal, qualifies as long as it is made public before the deadline.
