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.

Is it even plausible to nuke your neighbour? Fall out is very likely to affect Russia itself. From my admittedly poor understanding, nuclear weapons are designed to be dropped on someone across an ocean, like Japan from USA.
