Polymarket**[MARKET PROPOSAL]** **Market Title: **Will Russia invade any Baltic State by...? **Outcomes: **December 31, 2026 / March 31, 2027 **Market Description:** Russia's ongoing military commitment in Ukraine, with over 1.2 million casualties reported as of early April 2026 and plans to recruit 409,000 additional troops for Ukrainian fronts, dominates trader consensus against a new invasion front in the Baltics. Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania — NATO member states directly bordering Russia — have reinforced defenses, expanded conscription, and hosted increased NATO forward deployments. Bild and other Western outlets have published warnings of potential Baltic scenarios echoing pre-2022 Ukraine predictions, but these lack verification amid NATO deterrence signals. Absent major de-escalation in Ukraine or an Article 5 crisis, traders see high structural barriers to opening a new front against NATO territory before year-end. **Proposed Resolution Criteria:** This market will resolve to "Yes" if Russia commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of Estonian, Latvian, or Lithuanian territory by [expiry date], 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, land de facto controlled by Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania as of market creation will be considered the sovereign territory of that country. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting. **Resolution Source: **A consensus of credible reporting.
