If Russia nuked Ukraine? I doubt Nato would respond to a nuclear attack on a non nuclear nation. The guidlines to avoid an escalation with Russia would continue.
Of course if Russia went nuclear, the question of fall out affecting all of Europe would trigger a massive crisis.
I think its more then likely that Russia tries to find a way to use battlefield chemical weapons, which would also create massive long term civilian casualties if they use persistent agents.
The longer this goes, the more desperate Putin becomes.
