5. Having permanent members of the UNSC is not really a good idea. Heck, Russia is one of them

I think it was Serhiy Kyskytsya (Ukrainian representative of the UN) who said that originally it was the Soviet Union who was the Permanent member of the UNSC, and then when it was dissolved, there was no memos saying that Russia was the successor state to the seat of the Soviet Union. In other words, there was no resolution recognizing Russia as the seat of the Soviet Union as opposed to China, where a vote was done via the General Assembly. So in other words.

This is a few years old, but it goes into detail on how Russia got the USSR's permanent seat and why Ukraine is questioning it.
