I imagine the answer is fairly simple; no.

Rather than having doubts that NATO troops are fighting on the front lines - what evidence is there that they are? Why would you think there are NATO special forces directly involved? I only read the NYTimes on this stuff so not super educated, are there credible stories of NATO troops deployed fighting on the front line?? Or... just what the Russians say?

Because if Russia uses nuclear weapons for the first time since 1945 they permanently cement their status as a pariah state, and gives the West the ability to pry India/China away from Russia. The nuance of how/where they use it won't matter much in a PR battle.
