What the contract measures
This is a single binary contract on Polymarket titled "Zelenskyy out as Ukraine president by end of 2026?" [1]. The rules state that it resolves "Yes" if Volodymyr Zelenskyy "ceases to be President of Ukraine for any period of time between market creation and the specified date (ET)," and "No" otherwise [1]. The rules also say that an announcement of resignation or removal before the end date resolves the market to "Yes," even if the change takes effect later [1]. The excerpt describes the resolution source as official information from Ukrainian authorities, but that sentence is cut off in the saved text, so the exact source cannot be confirmed from this evidence [1].
The listed end time is 2027-01-01T04:59:00Z [1]. The rules refer to the date in Eastern Time, so readers should check how that listed timestamp maps to the stated deadline. A listed close time is a contract setting, not evidence that any event is scheduled for that date.
Reading the snapshot
The provider observation time is 2026-10-13T00:00:05.902Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-13T00:52:16.631Z [1]. The prices below describe that observation only and may not reflect current trading.
- Yes: 0.055
- No: 0.945 [1]
These figures are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The market status recorded at retrieval was active [1]. The sample covers one market from one provider event, with no partial sampling flagged, so there is no omitted outcome to compare against [1]. The saved data does not include volume, liquidity, or trader counts, so this snapshot cannot indicate how deep the market is or how many people hold each position.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not explain why the price is where it is, and it does not describe recent events affecting the office. It also does not show how this market has performed against actual outcomes. Readers should treat the 0.055 Yes price as a single recorded quote under these specific rules, and should review the full resolution language on the source page before drawing conclusions.

Saved Oct 13, 2026 UTCOverview
This market asks whether Volodymyr Zelenskyy will stop being President of Ukraine at any point between market creation and the end of 2026. The contract rules say it resolves "Yes" if he ceases to hold the office for any period of time between market creation and the specified date (ET), and "No" otherwise [1]. The rules also state that an announcement of his resignation or removal before the end date resolves the market to "Yes" immediately, regardless of when the announced change takes effect [1]. The listed end time is 2027-01-01T04:59:00.000Z [1]. The contract is therefore about a change in office rather than a fixed calendar outcome. A brief interruption counts under the wording, and so does an announcement made before the end date, even if the change itself would take effect later. The resolution source is described in the rules as official information from Ukrainian government channels, though the provider text is cut off in the supplied material, so the full sourcing language should be read directly on the provider page [1]. The single saved market for this event is the Yes and No binary contract. In the saved snapshot, the Yes outcome was priced at 0.055 and the No outcome at 0.945 [1]. These figures are snapshot prices only. They are not executable quotes, and they should not be read as verified probabilities of any outcome.
Historical Context
According to Wikipedia, Zelenskyy took office in 2019, five years after the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war, which began with Russia's annexation of Crimea and its invasion of the Donbas [2]. The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has been ongoing since February 2022, and the same source says he has continued to serve through it [2]. A separate Wikipedia entry describes a Ukrainian local counteroffensive launched in February 2026 on the southern front, aimed at expelling Russian forces from Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and later extending into Donetsk Oblast [3]. That entry does not connect the offensive to the presidency or to this market, so it provides background only.
Why It Matters
The contract measures whether the sitting Ukrainian president ceases to hold office at any point in a defined window that ends in late 2026. Because any interruption counts and an announced resignation or removal triggers a Yes resolution before it takes effect, the contract is sensitive to announcements as well as to actual changes in office [1]. Traders following the contract would need to track the official resolution source named in the rules, since that source determines how the event is confirmed [1].

Frequently Asked Questions
What event triggers a Yes resolution?
The market resolves Yes if Zelenskyy ceases to be President of Ukraine for any period of time between market creation and the specified date (ET). An announcement of his resignation or removal before the end date also resolves the market to Yes, regardless of when that change goes into effect [1].
When does the market end?
The listed end time for the market is 2027-01-01T04:59:00.000Z [1]. The rules refer to the specified date in ET, so the listed end time is the provider's timestamp for that deadline [1].
Does the Yes price mean the chance of Zelenskyy leaving office?
The saved snapshot shows a Yes price of 0.055 and a No price of 0.945 [1]. Prices of this kind are snapshots from a provider and are not executable quotes or verified probabilities, so they should not be read as the true likelihood of the event [1].
