Ukraine-Zone Nuclear… — Ungraded
Ukraine-Zone Nuclear Flashpoint Window — 28 Oct–28 Nov 2026, peak 13 Nov (successor to IA-RU-020) — sealed, ungraded
Between 28 Oct and 28 Nov 2026, a nuclear-level escalation concentrates in the Ukraine theater — attribution held open. Pre-registered vectors: a PROVABLE (independently verifiable) nuclear-capability demonstration (underground sufficient, atmospheric self-defeating); a false-flag radiological/dirty-bomb event (registered for any side); threshold posturing / a declared capability / a long-range missile test reported nuclear-capable / nuclear-capable exercises; and a deterrence exercise (IA-RU-009-type). Assessed ceiling: a demonstrative TEST, not a wartime use. Probability maximum ~13 Nov; a deterrence/response event window opens ~28 Nov. Successor to IA-RU-020.
PENDING — window opens 28 Oct 2026, peak ~13 Nov, closes 28 Nov; Russian-response window 28 Nov → Dec. Sealed and timestamped pre-window; held OFF the Brier until it resolves, then graduated into the graded corpus with each vector scored on its own evidence channel.
A sealed, public, timestamped forecast that landed — deliberately kept OFF the graded Brier, with the reason in the open. The forecast is a dated WARNING for decision-makers: a nuclear-level flashpoint concentrates in this window, and the value is lead-time to prepare, whichever way it breaks. The reasoning is scenario-based and attribution is held open. A demonstrative TEST (not a wartime use) is the assessed ceiling — a provable, independently verifiable event, underground sufficient. The actor is not assumed: it may be a party seeking to prove capability under battlefield pressure, or a deterrence signal by a party that feels threatened (an IA-RU-009-type exercise). A false-flag pathway is pre-registered as standard warning tradecraft — the US IC itself publicly flagged false-flag risk in 2022 — and it is registered for ALL sides, not asserted against any. Identification of the underlying Ukraine-nuclear axis is carried from IA-RU-020 (the SVR TN-75/M51.1 statement, Duma appeals, Medvedev); this advisory adds the timing corridor and the indicators to watch.
Sealed claim: Between 28 Oct and 28 Nov 2026, a nuclear-level escalation concentrates in the Ukraine theater — attribution held open.

Assessed ceiling: a demonstrative TEST, not a wartime use. Probability maximum ~13 Nov; a deterrence/response event window opens ~28 Nov. Successor to IA-RU-020.
