Hopefully the start of some sort of response. Calling for Russian withdraw and a UN force of observers.

If they or their acolyte states are the one doing the invading. Even Israel does not heed most of the UN warnings and/or call for caution or withdrawal. So Russia should be expected to pay attention to the warnings of the UN? I doubt that very much.
