Quotes from the news wire:
If the U.S. was president, they might have called for more consultations, they could issue a statement on behalf of the council, a presidential statement, kind of a summary of activity, and you could editorialize a little bit in that, i think people overestimate the importance of the Security Council president, it's largely a procedural, diplomatic function and the fact that Russia has been chairing all these meetings on Ukraine hasn’t enabled it to stop the Council meeting pretty much every other day since Monday and meeting again [Saturday] to refer the situation to the General Assembly.

On the surface, to the guy in the street, it looks very hypocritical with this organization giving a podium to that regime, what I sense now is a very large number of U.N. members, and not only European members, really feel that this is highlighting some fundamental dysfunctions and some fundamental anachronisms in how the U.N. works and when hopefully the immediate drama of the war is over, we’re going to hear a lot of talk about U.N. reform, although I don't know what that will really deliver at the end of the day.
