If you create a situation where Putin has nothing to lose it will quickly escalate.
If a situation is created where Russia isn't going to win, that doesn't suggest Russia having nothing to lose. That's true in general but also specifically in the case of nuclear weapons usage Russia has a lot to lose. It would destroy any chance of eventually normalizing relations with the western countries for a long time, and would push countries on the fence to be more against Russia. It would also create a situation where countries around the world go hard for nuclear weapons and non-proliferation goes out the window. None of that is in Russia's interest. It's not in Putin's interest if he cares about Russia, or even cares about the power and influence he gets from leading Russia.
