Members of the Security Council are obligated to intrude. That is the agreement they are a party to. If China cannot perform that duty, they need to withdraw as a permanent member of the Security Council.
Russia has announced they have the right to expand their borders using aggression. They have committe the supreme international crime, as judged at Nuremberg.
