This market is scheduled to close on December 31, 2026 at 23:59 UTC.

This market will resolve to *'Yes'** if any of the following occurs by December 31, 2026: (1) Vladimir Putin is no longer President of Russia due to death, resignation, removal from office, or incapacitation; (2) Russia withdraws all military forces from Ukrainian territory as recognized by international borders prior to 2014; or (3) a comprehensive peace agreement is signed between Russia and Ukraine that restores Ukrainian sovereignty over all internationally recognized territory including Crimea and occupied regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. **Otherwise, 'No'.**

If Putin temporarily steps aside but retains de facto control of the Russian government, this does not qualify as being 'stopped' for resolution purposes.

If a peace agreement is reached but allows Russia to retain any Ukrainian territory occupied since 2014, this does not qualify as Putin being 'stopped' unless Ukraine explicitly agrees to permanent territorial concessions through a ratified constitutional amendment.
