We aren't going to cave and bow down to these ****s

People want the UN to be some kind of righteous champion of human rights and peacekeeping but it's real underlying mandate is to prevent WWIII.
It was formed out of the failure of the League of Nations from preventing WWII (which was in itself formed out of the failure of the detente system from preventing WWI).
There is a reason why the permanent security council includes Russia, the UK, France, US, and China. It's made up of the victors of WWII so they will be able to engage each other as the expected dominant post-war powers.
Preventing WWIII is exactly why nobody is directly helping Ukraine against Russia and only providing supplies and lethal aid. They do not want to stoke Russia into contemplating using its nuclear stockpile.
