Ukraine isn’t in NATO and NATO is a defense alliance, so it wouldn’t automatically be a NATO issue if Russia used a tactical nuke there.
Also (https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_50068.htm https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_50068.htm) “The fundamental purpose of NATO’s nuclear forces is for deterrence”. AFAIK, they don’t have any idea about responses to nuclear attacks on NATO, let alone on ones on non-NATO countries.

Russia specifically signed this agreement promising not to threaten or attack Ukraine with nuclear weapons.
