I dunno how they're gonna go about that considering Russia could just veto that attempt to strip them lol and citing PRCs permanent security councils seat is just silly.

Because that is not Russia's seat. It's the Soviet Union's seat. They left the Soviet Union in 1990. In fact, Ukraine left after them, so they have a better claim to the UN seat.

Russia took on all the debts and obligations if the USSR so they got the seat.

If by "debts and obligations" you mean nukes. That makes total sense.
