Actually, Ukraine and Georgia joining NATO is that line, too. So, NATO wants to cross one line, Russia is ready to cross another.
And yes, Russia prefer to face consequences of a nuclear victory (less than twenty million dead) , than of a conventional defeat (lost of Crimea and Novorussia and then - total genocide of the Russians).

They can’t match NATO on conventional weapons and going nuclear would not end nicely
