Not when it comes to nuclear weapons. Mutually Assured Destruction is still very much the operating theory. It is the only reason Europe or NATO haven't shored up Ukraine directly, after Russia's conventional forces have been all but decimated. Russia knows having nuclear weapons grants near immunity, save for sanctions and a pesky ICC warrant. You possess nuclear weapons, you sit at the big table rather than be run roughshod over.
