I could be wrong

Do you know why NATO would hesitate in such a scenario where Russia invade Ukraine and all or some of the Baltic states

In the last 30-40 years I have heard, seen and read high ranked officer on both side saying A war between WP and NATO(From the old days) and today A war between NATO and Russia will end in a thermonuclear war.
The only difference is when this will happen.

And that could very well be the reason the outgrowing fear of a thermonuclear war if NATO would engage Russia if they invaded Some of the Baltic states or all of them-
you know the Oath in NATO-if one is attacked then every country in the alliance is attacked

If Russia do attack some of NATO's member-The Baltic states

The other countries in NATO will find a political excuse to avoid confrontation.
