Could a desperate Russia use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine?

Firstpost  

The United States warned of “catastrophic consequences” if Moscow were to cross the line and use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, after Russia’s foreign minister said that regions holding referendums would get full protection. Russia is known to have 6,257 nuclear weapons; USA 5,550; China 350 and expanding; France 290; United Kingdom 225; Pakistan 165; India 156; Israel 90; and North Korea estimated 50. In 2000 Russian military doctrine stated that they reserve the right to use nuclear weapons “in response to a large-scale conventional aggression”. When asked under what circumstances would Russia use nuclear weapons to defend the annexed regions, he said Russian territory, including territory “further enshrined” in Russia’s constitution in the future, “is under the full protection of the state”.
