Crimea: Why Didn't U.S. Go Through the U.N.?

Why didn't the Obama Administration go through the United Nations General Assembly to address the situation between Russia and the Ukraine, instead of acting through NATO and multilaterally with the G7 and European countries?

Russia blocked a UN Security Council resolution on March 15th which urged countries not to recognize the referendum in Crimea.

Ukraine has circulated, according to Reuters, a draft resolution to the U.N. General Assembly that would invalidate Crimea's referendum to join Russia.
