The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting Wednesday evening at the request of Ukraine after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a “special military operation” in eastern Ukraine, telling the West not to intervene in what appeared to be the beginning of war in Europe.

Putin going ahead with the war while the Security Council is in session is a slap in the face of the UN.

[@mikenichols7760]

The UN has no weight to it anymore when it comes to this. They have meetings after meetings and votes then they'll have more meetings. All the while Russia storms into a sovereign country. Even if the UN does anything in the end it'll be a monetary sanction or blocking them from being in this or that group. Putin dint care about all that.. hes rolling over who he wants knowing the west sit on their hands and talk.

[@randydavisman]

Unbelievable! One member, the member who is responsible for Ukrainian aggression (the Russian Federation), is able to circumvent the main purpose of U.N. Security Council by their single vote against the resolution. The U.N. Charter needs to be revised to force a nation named as an aggressor in a resolution to abstain from voting on the said resolution.

!the sudden concern for international law regarding Ukraine is nowhere to be found when it comes to Israel’s illegal occupation and annexation of Palestinian and Syrian land, and its imposition of an apartheid regime on the entire Palestinian people - a crime against humanity. These Israeli crimes could of course not be perpetrated without American and European support or acquiescence. When the Trump administration moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in 2017, effectively recognizing Israel’s illegal annexation of the city, the EU rejected the move. The EU also rejected the 2019 US recognition of Israel’s illegal annexation of Syria’s occupied Golan Heights. Ironically, one of the handful of countries ready to follow the US in recognizing Israel’s illegal annexation of Jerusalem is none other than the US and EU-backed government in Ukraine.

You want to be extremely cautious and careful and strategic in moments and situations like these because there are a lot of dynamics and factors at play and you do not want to make the wrong moves and inflame the wrong people or nations like China or the South American countries who have pledged support of Russias decision or global conflict could break out and WW3 is a very real possibility if things continue to escalate and then snowball into something irreversible.

russian representative "We are not against Ukraine people but the leaders" He is wrong. The problem is that almost all Ukraine people AGREE with the Ukraine leaders!! They also think Russia is doing bad things. They also want to stay away from Putin etc. So, if you want to attack leaders, you attack the whole country because the whole country basically supports the leaders and are gonna fight "till the last man".

So Russia as a Permanent Member of UN seems to fail to adhere to the United Nations Charter. Furthermore ICC and ICJ cannot have a trial in war crime of those who have violated such crime cannot be a trail in their absent. There is no power of enforcement as that is not available unless a country voluntarily permit access. So where does Compensation of Damage to Victims of War Crimes. Estimate of infrastructure damage is said to be $63 billion; not including Ukraine GDP and other loses. So how is the UN to deal with this issue?

Where was UN and Guterres when all the US-orchestrated trouble was brewing? Where was the UN Security Council when Ukraine's democratically elected Yanukovich government was overthrown by US-sponsored violent uprising?! Where was the UN Security Council when NATO, backed by the US, started expanding eastward against their promises to Russia?! Where was the UN Security Council when US and NATO started sending artilleries and weapons to the Russian borders?! Where was UN Security Council when Ukraine, with the full support of US and NATO, totally disregarded and disrespected the Minsk Agreements?! Where was the UN Security Council when president Putin urged US, NATO and Ukraine to respect and implement the Minsk Agreement?! IN FACT, WHERE WAS THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL WHEN THE US ILLEGALLY INVADED IRAQ, BASED ON US LIES, AND COMMITED GENOCIDE ON 1 MILLION IRAQI MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN, AND LEFT MILLIONS OF DESTROYED IRAQIS AS REFUGEES??!!! WHY IS THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL STILL ALLOWING US INVADERS IN IRAQ DESPITE THE IRAQI PARLIAMENT DEMANDING THE GENOCIDAL US ARMY TO LEAVE IRAQ??!!! It's been 20 years already and the evil genocidal US government is still destroying other nations but playing the victim! IT IS TIME THAT ALL THE US PRESIDENTS, DEAD OR ALIVE, BE TRIED FOR GENOCIDES, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND WAR CRIMES! The world will never be peaceful as long as the warmongering USA and its lapdogs keep lying to create wars to project US geopolitical supremacy and to enrich the almighty US military-industrial complex, with the UN Security Council condoning, even tacitly supporting by its inaction, US war crimes and crimes against humanity!
