Member of the Ukraine delegation for negotiations has supposedly been arrested and executed for treason.
A slightly different take on it here rather than being 'executed' for treason. You'd hope the Ukranians were smarter than!

According to Ukrainska Pravda sources, a member of the Ukrainian negotiating delegation that met with Russia, was shot dead by the Security Service of Ukraine officers as they were trying to detain him. The man was allegedly Denys Kirieiev, a former deputy chairman of Oschadbank. The SBU had “strong evidence” he was leaking information to Russia.

Ukraine's president has attacked Nato leaders in a fiery speech over their refusal to implement a no-fly zone around the country.
Speaking from Kyiv, Volodymyr Zelensky said the West's reluctance to intervene has given Russia "a green light" to continue bombarding towns and villages.
Nato has argued that a no-fly zone will result in confrontation with Moscow.
But Mr Zelensky said he disagrees that direct action could "provoke Russia's direct aggression against Nato".
In angry comments, he said the argument reflects the "self-hypnosis of those who are weak, under-confident inside" and that Western reservations indicated that "not everyone considers the struggle for freedom to be Europe's number one goal".
"All the people who will die starting from this day will also die because of you. Because of your weakness, because of your disunity," a furious Mr Zelensky added.
On Friday, Nato's secretary-general, Jens Stoltenberg, warned that the introduction of a no-fly zone could lead to a "full-fledged war in Europe involving many more countries and causing much more human suffering".

Hard to know what to believe with some of these Twitter people. A botched arrest isn’t a good look either, suspicious at best.
 
How bizarre is it that in this “Russian made” situation they actually even have a veto on the council?
Council has existed for decades, therefore predates this issue.

Not saying that means it ISN'T bang out of order - personally I think Russia is deliberately taking advantage of the processes in the UN - but it's not that the UN is just choosing not to do anything.
