Russia Assumes Control of UN Security Council Amid Controversy.
TL;DR Summary
Russia has assumed the presidency of the United Nations Security Council in April, despite bombing cities and civilians in Ukraine and threatening nuclear war. The Security Council has done nothing to sanction Russia since its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and Russia has wielded its veto to prevent that, while China has abstained. This move underscores how feckless the U.N. is in enforcing anything like global order.
