This market will resolve according to the country in which the next diplomatic meeting between representatives of Russia and Ukraine aimed at discussing a ceasefire, peace agreement, or other substantive de-escalation of the ongoing conflict begins by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET.

If the next qualifying meeting takes place in any country in Europe other than the listed options, this market will resolve to "Other - Europe."
