Putin luckily is not suicidal. Quite the opposite; he seems to value his life a lot as demonstrated by the ridicilously long tables to protect him from covid. He knows that the west knows where he is at all times and in the event of a nuclear strike the retaliation will be directed at him personally and we don't even need nuclear weapons for that.

There's also a real chance that they don't even have a functioning nuclear arsenal. The military is so incredibly corrupt that I wouldn't be at all surprised if the funds meant to maintain the nuclear arsenal has been pocketed by Shoigu and his cronies as has been the case with pretty much every other branch of the military aswell.

Apparently it's really really expensive to maintain nukes so that theory stands quite well when you look at corrupt russia.
