What does it take to get Russia out of the Security Council?
I write this rhetorical question from pure frustration.
Rather like the old joke about why Jaguars had two engines. It was so that, if one engine failed, the other could keep the Jag flying to the scene of the crash.
Egyptians stated that Su-35 targeting system is far inferrior to this carried by Rafale and is totally volnurable to Rafale's electronic warfare equipment.Started searching on line and I'm seeing the same. Interesting.
This is one of the dirty secrets of world diplomacy, actually. Russian Federation has never gone through the proper procedure of joining the UN as other new countries, for example, Croatia. Instead, it was given "automatically" the seat in the UN with all rights, privileges and material assets belonging to the USSR. Why so? Because there was a silent consensus that the new regime in Moscow should be pleased and not annoyed (many talks about avoidance of the Versaille syndrome). Just to remind that RSFSR (the true predecessor of the Russian Federation) was not a member of the UN.What does it take to get Russia out of the Security Council?

True, but looking at the map, Ukraine Interactive map - Ukraine Latest news on live map - liveuamap.com I think Melitopol, in order to cut off Crimea and flank those fleeing from Kherson is the more likely next objective.And while all the chaos is ensuing in Kherson, Mariupol is a ripe fruit for the picking...
The trick was that modern Russia (Russian Federation) usurped that successor status.Without dissolving the UN, it's likely impossible. The UN charter was written, as mentioned by Greg, to make sure that nobody could interfere with the actions of the US, UK, France, China, and the USSR (and its successor state, Russia). The Security Council could not, for example, condemn the US's putzing around in Central and South America or the UK's or France's actions against independence movements in their colonies (or the USSR's mucking about in Hungary and Czechoslovakia).
He's the Howard Hughes of our time. And just as likely to end up expiring in his 90s as a germaphobe recluse.Elon is such an enfant terrible sometimes. But Starlink on the frontline is a real thing.

However taking Mariupol would cut off a massive Russian force between it and those AFU moving south of Kherson. So, you may be right.
I am pretty sure that India said a similar thing about the Su30 vs Rafale. The Su30 radar could be easily defeated by the Rafale, whereas the Rafale could continue to track the Su30 despite its countermeasures.Egyptians stated that Su-35 targeting system is far inferrior to this carried by Rafale and is totally volnurable to Rafale's electronic warfare equipment.
Mariupol is a major port city with main highways running along the coast as well as several heading inland.A drive to the coast to bisect the Russian lines is the obvious move. We'd have to see the road-net in order to get a getter idea of the axis of advance.
A very poor performance from an Intelligence Chief. He needs to work on his body language. A person who talks without looking at you is not communicating with you, he is just reciting.So, according to Russia's intel chief, there's been absolutely no rhetoric from Russia about the use of nuclear weapons. Truly remarkable (watch the video...it's eye-watering in its "alternate world-view"):
