The condition is straightforward, requiring photographic or video evidence of a physical handshake between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy before the deadline of December 31, 2026. However, no primary official source or registry is designated to make the call. Instead, resolution depends on photographic or digital evidence verified by a consensus of credible reporting, leaving the determination of what constitutes credible reporting or acceptable verification to market arbiters. The title also omits the specific year, though the detailed rules clarify the 2026 cutoff.
