I don't think dropping nukes on Ukraine is something Russia would even consider. It makes absolutely no sense from their perspective.

What I fear is a Cuba crisis style standoff where Russia sets an ultimatum demanding the West stop all arms deliveries to Ukrainian forces, threatening any transit countries (such as Poland) with nukes.

They can threat all they want, but Poland is a NATO member. An attack on Poland will trigger a retaliation from NATO. Not sure Russia wishes to go to war with all of NATO.

Exactly. That's why I called it a Cuba crisis style stand-off.
