HTOTM: FUSION
The UN's only purpose is to avoid a war between the great powers (those who have veto power in the security council).
Not a single state on the planet would agree to giving up it's right to maintain a conventional force.
Also, the Ukraine is Russia's back yard, and the UN can't do anything about it if Putin feels like invading. Russia has veto power anyways, the UN can't do anything about them.
