but I don't think either option will actually come to a vote in the UN

France wanted UN authority to attack if conditions weren't met, that was going nowhere in the Security Council.

I don't think Russia is even planning on bringing a Security Council resolution at this point. They seem to be working directly with the Obama administration.
