Why is Russia on the UN Security Council when it was the USSR that signed the charter? Because they have nukes? That can’t be the only reason. They must be called to account for ignoring agreements. Putin is already a wanted criminal with a warrant for his arrest. Is Russia’s seat on the Security Council legitimate considering their hostility to international law? Is there no mechanism to change membership of that body? Does it all depend on the Russians dealing with Putin on their own terms?
Who is going to call them to account? Who is going to send the men over there to arrest him? Even if you kick them off of the UNSC, the UN isn't going to send the blue helmets over there to detain him by force now are they? That is what a toothless authority looks like.

The Russians will have to do it.
Good luck getting them to do it. It ain't exactly 1917 or 1989 vibes over there right now.
