No. But there's an attempt to make us scared (terrorism).

Yet you need to acknowledge, that the risk of nuclear exchange isn't 0%, just for the fact that the weapons exist, and that is completely out of our control.

Russia is doing what it wants, and they've been escalating this war since the invasion started in 2014, so it's not like they don't have agency and a mind of their own.

No one is trying to annex Russia, there's no external existential threat to them. Could they use nukes still? Yes, they could. Will they choose to seize to exist, and lose 100% of their territory, by nuking the US to try to get a fraction of that land? Doubtfully, and if they choose to do so, it would be out of our control anyway and would be a matter of time.
