The United Nations goal is technically maintaining international peace and security. If they’re always afraid to do something when a country attacks another without provocation, out of fear of escalating the situation, why does it even exist?

Your premise is false. The UN has intervened in numerous conflicts. There are a number of current peacekeeping missions in the world. The UN has even authorised military action to bring peace and order.

The reason that the UN can’t pass a resolution against Russia is the same reason it didn’t against the US when it waged wars of aggression. Russia has the power of Veto in the UN Security Council where resolutions are voted upon.
