What we can confirm

Recent statements attributed to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Embassy in Ireland explicitly say Russia would be prepared to use its entire arsenal, including nuclear weapons, if NATO attacked, isolated, or blockaded Kaliningrad. The claim is accurate as a report of Russia's stated position, though it describes a conditional threat rather than evidence that Russia has decided to use such weapons.
