I share your worries and believe that Russia will use nukes in Ukraine, safe in the knowledge that like for like retaliation by the west is impossible. Comments advising you to not worry, or use your phone less, or stating that someone in Russia will do something to stop it are condescending at the least and falsehoods at the worst. Current nuclear doctrine does not allow for retaliation by a western power unless that power is directly facing annihilation because the costs are too great and this is well known by all including Putin.

The west doesn’t need to respond with nuclear weapons to dismantle Russian positions in Ukraine. NATO and it’s allies are more then capable of removing Russia from Ukraine with conventional weapons in a short period of time.
