The United Nations has once again proven its utter incompetence when it comes to matters of global importance — especially the Russia–Ukraine war. For years, the UN has positioned itself as the world’s peacekeeper, yet when the moment for real action arrives, all we see are empty statements, symbolic votes, and endless “condemnations” with no teeth.

The Russia–Ukraine conflict is a glaring example: millions displaced, thousands killed, cities reduced to rubble — and what has the UN delivered? Endless meetings. Vetoes blocking any meaningful resolutions. Bureaucratic paralysis while civilians pay the price. The Security Council, crippled by its own structure, allows aggressors to wield absolute power over outcomes, making the entire institution look like a stage for hypocrisy rather than a defender of peace.

And it’s not just Ukraine. Time and again, whether in Syria, Yemen, Myanmar, or countless humanitarian crises, the UN’s involvement has been characterized by delay, indecision, and a failure to protect those most in need. The pattern is clear: speeches instead of solutions, committees instead of consequences, promises instead of protection.

The world deserves better than an international body that claims authority but consistently shows itself powerless. Until the UN reforms itself from the ground up, it will remain little more than a talking shop — a monument to inaction while wars rage on and human suffering continues unchecked.
