Russia makes nuclear threats and France just stares at them, with their hand hovering over the button.
Russia doesn't win a nuclear war, and they know this. It won't happen.
They also know that they can have peace if they leave Ukraine, so France joining the war is not an existential threat.
Honestly, we're more likely to get nuclear war if we cede this kind of power to them. Ignore them and there won't be a reason for nuclear proliferation.
While losing this war would not be an existential threat to Russia as a whole, it might very well be to Putin though
