BBC and Russia today both characterize the context more or less the same way….

At one point, the female speaker mentions the UN and its possible role in trying to find a solution to the Ukraine stand-off.

“So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and have the UN help glue it and you know… f*** the EU,” she says.

Why “fuck the EU”? The EU and/or NATO seem far more likely to accomplish something or at least arrive at a consensus. The UN seems very unlikely to do anything, especially with Russia on the Security Council. What’s the logic in going with the UN on this?
