I don't believe the UN SC believes that diplomacy is a realistic possibility, unless they have very good intelligence that Putin is so up against it that he might finally consider it. But being who they are, they can't very well come out and say, "Go Britain! Go America! Give Ukraine everything it needs to crush this!" Which is what so many of the rest of us feel. It's GeoPoliticalSpeak, and I think must be accepted as such. They aren't going to come out and tell Putin he has to stop it. It's not, er, "helpful".
But I doubt very much that the entity itself is under any illusions about the reality of the situation, and of whom they are dealing with . . . which just highlights why so many feel that the UN is a pointless idea. TC
A strongly argued and substantiated point of view criticising the UN security Council. Putin needs to ceasefire, not Velensky, but the impression I'm getting, is that to stop the demolition of the Ukraine, and for a 'diplomatic' solution, Zelensky will be expected (from the UN Council standpoint)to give into Putin.
The UN's primary responsibility being the maintenance of international peace and security, the WAR in Ukraine resulting with an unknown number of deaths and injured as well as the horrendous destruction, indicates UN members have not met their PRIMARY responsibility.
