This market will resolve to "Yes" if Vladimir Putin meets with Volodymyr Zelenskyy between this market's creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". An exchange of words, handshake, direct conversation, or other clear personal interaction between the named individuals will qualify as a meeting. Merely standing in proximity, making eye contact, or being present in the same room or event without direct interaction will not qualify. A meeting is defined as any encounter where both Zelenskyy and Putin are present and interact with each other in person. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated there is no point in a direct meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy until expert-level work produces a durable agreement aligning with Moscow’s core demands on territory, security guarantees, and Ukrainian neutrality. In June 2026, Putin rejected Zelenskyy’s public letter and third-country proposals, describing them as insincere and insisting that any summit follow rather than precede substantive deals. Subsequent Russian statements through August 2026 have reaffirmed this stance, noting no immediate resumption of talks and prioritizing battlefield objectives over leader-level engagement. Ongoing hostilities, stalled U.S.-mediated efforts, and Moscow’s rejection of ceasefires without prior concessions continue to shape trader consensus that such a bilateral meeting remains unlikely by the December 2026 resolution date.
