A temporary ceasefires is not enough to resolve Yes.

  • Update 2025-08-31 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Resolves Yes only if a formal peace agreement or armistice between Russia and Ukraine is signed before the end of 2026, and fighting between the major parties stops with no major flare-ups (>100 deaths) thereafter.

    • Temporary ceasefires that are later broken do not count.

    • A full agreement before the end of 2026 followed by a new war starting after 2026 still resolves Yes.

  • Update 2025-10-26 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - For the war to be considered ended, any peace agreement or armistice must last until the later of: the end of 2026, OR one month after it's signed

    • This means an agreement signed in late 2026 must remain in effect for at least one month into 2027 to resolve Yes

What is enough to resolve yes? A peace treaty?

@Lilemont A formal peace agreement or armistice between the two is signed before the end of 2026. Fighting between the major parties stops, without any major flare-ups (>100 dead) thereafter.

The war will not be considered to have ended in the case of a temporary ceasefire, which is later broken, though a full agreement later followed by a new war (starting after the end of 2026) would resolve the market Yes.

Does that feel about in-line with the intuitions behind "war ends" to you? I'm open to shift things around to avoid plausible edge cases.

@spider How long does the peace have to last? Do we have to wait until the end of 2026 for a resolution, or would it resolve before then if there's a ceasefire that isn't broken for a while?

@EvanDaniel I think it's most in line with the market definition to say it needs to last until the later of
- end of 2026, or
- one month after it's signed
Does that feel right for you?

I think some people are misreading the title, an identical market is trading much higher https://manifold.markets/asmith/will-the-war-in-ukraine-end-before-0b0a5ac6c165

sold Ṁ53 NO

@DontGoHome my bad for the duplicate market, I hadn’t assumed to search for that term.
