For the purpose of “yes” bet resolution:

• Russian forces take full control of the city of Kharkiv OR Zaporizhia OR Kherson and their surrounds

• Ukrainian government forces are pushed out and no longer control any part of the city

• Russian appointed officials take over administration of the city

• OR A ceasefire agreement is reached, where Ukraine has to cede any of these cities to Russia.

The bet will resolve as N/A if areas in the cities remain contested, borders unclear, or reporting disputed, and it may be impossible to conclusively say they have "fallen" by end of 2024.
