The way I see it: Right now, Russia is losing terrain and initiative too hard, too fast. IF Russia keeps losing, Putin is dead, and he knows it. If he's desperate enough, he can't lose much more by nuking something big enough to make it clear he dares, but small enough not to start a complete nuclear escalation. That's a very thin line to walk.
