Russian forces have conducted infiltration operations and reached the outskirts of Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, a settlement northwest of Kostyantynivka in Donetsk Oblast, as part of broader advances toward the Kramatorsk-Sloviansk axis. Recent reports indicate Russian troops along the H-20 highway in the eastern part of the settlement by early August 2026, though Ukrainian forces have conducted clearing operations and prevented confirmed consolidation. Ukrainian marines captured two Russian soldiers in early August who were reportedly tasked with staging propaganda footage of a capture. Ukrainian drone activity and counterattacks continue to slow Russian momentum in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area. The settlement’s position on key logistics routes makes incremental gains there relevant to larger operational objectives, with ongoing frontline activity likely to shape trader assessments of capture timelines.

The train station will be considered captured if any part of the icon 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 railroad station, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
