Pretending you're not at war with Russia does not stop them from acting like they are already at war with you.

We are talking about 2014 here, I don't think NATO was at war with Russia even by their propagandists standards. On the contrary, everybody was shocked that they decided to invade Donbas and Crimea just like that.

There was a consistent approach by Russia of denying Ukraine any kind of former-Soviet supplies of ammo around that time and after. There were also incidents in Bulgaria for example.
Blowing up an ammo supply in a NATO country is an act of war and could trigger article 5. So I would say they already started acting like they were at war with NATO around that time.

In response, NATO should blow up the Russian ammunition depots in Cobasna, Transnistria

Lol. So many anti Russian keyboard warriors who never had a fist fight in their lives yet have wet dreams about invading Russia

Kaliningrad is Poland, bro, and it won't hold out longer than a couple days if real shooting starts. NATO forces in Finland and the Baltics are a couple hours drive from St Pete's. Major Russian cities would be under siege basically immediately.
Nukes would likely come out not too long after.

also popular with Chinese, NK, Iranian, etc. cyber operatives.
India and other countries even dip into when given a reason, such as the recent Canada assassinations that the US called out.
