Contested borders hinder deployment and risk renewed conflict.
UN Mandate Dependence:
Requires UN Security Council backing for legitimacy, challenging due to polarization.
Western Assistance:

Capacity Constraints:
Coordination, training, funding, and rapid deployment remain challenges.
Opportunity for India:
Ukraine conflict presents a chance for India to demonstrate leadership, translate neutrality into action.
