Russian forces have faced sustained Ukrainian counteroffensives in the Novopavlivka-Oleksandrivka sector of Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts through mid-2026, with Ukrainian units reclaiming over 600 square kilometers and more than two dozen settlements by mid-August. These operations disrupted earlier Russian attempts to advance westward from the Kurakhove and Velyka Novosilka axes, where Novodmytrivka was previously targeted as part of infiltration and encirclement efforts. Russian claims of incremental gains elsewhere, such as around Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk, continue but lack confirmed territorial control in the specific Novodmytrivka area amid Ukrainian drone strikes, artillery, and localized counterattacks. Trader consensus reflects these battlefield dynamics, with recent Ukrainian territorial recoveries and ongoing strikes on Russian logistics lowering near-term capture probabilities. Scheduled developments include continued Russian pressure on the Fortress Belt cities and Ukrainian long-range operations against rear-area targets, which could further constrain offensive momentum on either side depending on manpower, munitions, and air defense performance.

The intersection will be considered captured if any part of the intersection is shaded red on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. If the area is not shaded red by the specified date, the market will resolve to “No”.
For any change on the ISW map to qualify for this market’s resolution, the relevant shading indicating Russian control must persist through the next full ISW daily update cycle. If ISW skips a day, shading must persist until the next finalized ISW update is published, regardless of the date. Any continuous shading which reflects either “Assessed Russian Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify. “Assessed Russian Infiltration Areas in Ukraine” will not qualify.
If Russia comes into control of this territory as a result of a negotiated settlement, this will qualify for a 'Yes' resolution, regardless of whether it is shaded red in the ISW map. An announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
Once Russia captures the intersection, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
