The post Zelensky warns Russia may draw Belarus into Ukraine war appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Zelensky warned that Russia might try to draw Belarus directly into the Ukraine conflict. The Russia-Ukraine ceasefire by June 30 market sits at 9.5% YES, down from 10% yesterday. Traders adjusted ceasefire odds after Zelensky’s warning. The June 30 market dropped slightly as concerns about further military escalation increased. The May 31 market sits at 5.9% YES, with minimal change over the past week. Traders remain skeptical about any immediate diplomatic breakthrough. Belarus’s potential involvement adds a new variable that reduces the likelihood of a near-term resolution. The probability shift is modest, but the market is clearly responsive to signals about widening the war’s geographic scope. Trading volume over the past 24 hours hit $1,975 in USDC for the June 30 market, with $10,278 required to move the price by 5 points. The May 31 market saw $1,928 in daily USDC trading, needing $3,308 for a 5-point shift. Liquidity is moderate, meaning larger orders could move prices noticeably. At 9.5¢ per YES share for the June 30 market, a successful ceasefire would pay $1, a 10.5x return. To justify that bet, you’d need to see clear diplomatic progress or significant military de-escalation in the coming weeks. Zelensky’s warning points in the opposite direction. Watch for Belarusian military movements or official statements from Minsk or Moscow, as these could shift ceasefire odds further. Get prediction market intelligence as a structured API feed.
