Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 2 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This contract estimates a 12% chance that Russian forces will capture Dobropillia by a specified date. The probability reflects current frontline positions in the Donetsk region, where Russian and Ukrainian forces have been engaged in grinding positional warfare. Dobropillia sits approximately 15-20 kilometers behind the primary contact lines. The low probability suggests markets assess significant Ukrainian defensive capability or limited Russian offensive momentum in this sector. Key drivers include Russian supply lines, artillery effectiveness, and Ukrainian reinforcement capacity. Related contracts show higher probabilities for captures of nearby settlements like Novooleksandrivka (74%) by May 31, indicating market confidence in Russian advances in the broader region but less certainty about Dobropillia specifically. Resolution depends on verified military control changes, typically confirmed through geolocated evidence or official statements from either side.

Key factors:
- Russian forces would need to breach current frontline positions and advance 15-20km under Ukrainian defensive fire and potential counterattack
- Ukrainian military capacity to reinforce and hold defensive positions in Donetsk, including availability of troops and defensive supplies
- Relative intensity of Russian operations in this specific sector versus other disputed territories where markets show higher capture probabilities (Novooleksandrivka at 74%)
- Logistical sustainability of Russian offensive operations given demonstrated supply chain vulnerabilities in 2024-2025
- Timing of any potential ceasefire negotiations or operational pause that would freeze territorial lines before Dobropillia changes hands

Contracts:
- Will Russia enter Dobropillia by...?: December 31 — 38¢ Polymarket $140 (weight 18%)
- Will Russia enter Dobropillia by...?: June 30 — 4¢ Polymarket $638 (weight 82%)

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
