Will Russia capture Mala Tokmachka by...?
Polymarket prices this September 30 at 10%. The market is more confident than the current reporting.
Russia has been fighting to capture Mala Tokmachka for over a year, but Ukrainian defenders continue to hold the village. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports that Russia's advances have been repelled, with significant losses. Despite claims of capture, the ISW map shows that Russia has not yet secured the intersection at 47.540813° N, 35.885706° E. The market puts the odds of Russia capturing the intersection by September 30 at 10%, a probability that has slipped over the past week, with -7 pts indicating growing skepticism.
