Resolution criteria

This multiple-choice question resolves to exactly one option on December 31, 2030, based on the state of the Russia-Ukraine war on that date: - Ukraine wins: Russia withdraws from or is expelled from all Ukrainian territory it occupied after February 24, 2022, or formally accepts Ukraine's internationally recognised borders. - Russia wins: Ukraine formally cedes the territory Russia claims, or Russia gains control of Kyiv or forces a change of Ukraine's government. - Stalemate / frozen conflict: no signed ceasefire or peace agreement is in force, and front lines have changed by less than 1% of Ukraine's territory over the final 12 months. - Negotiated ceasefire or peace deal: a ceasefire or peace agreement signed by both governments is in force on December 31, 2030 and neither of the first two options applies. - Other / unclear outcome: none of the above clearly applies. Source of truth: official statements of the Ukrainian and Russian governments, UN records and at least two major international news organisations (Reuters, AP, BBC).
