If the west gave nukes to Ukraine, Russia would obviously treat that as a nuclear attack by the west. At that point everybody dies.

Possibly. Which is the point. There is no way for Ukraine to win unless the west wants to risk nuclear war.

Exactly, the whole thing was a folly from the start.

This situation has already played out with the nukes the west put in turkey in the 60's. I would hope they wouldn't be dumb enough to repeat that mistake, but things these days are pretty fucking stupid over here in the USA
