155(640), Apr-Jun, 2025: p.263-270 The Ukraine conflict, ongoing since 2014 with Russia's annexation of Crimea, escalated when Russia again invaded Ukraine in Feb 2022. Despite efforts by the United Nations (UN) and world leaders to negotiate a settlement, the war persists. However, recent developments suggest that a potential ceasefire may be gaining momentum. If a ceasefire is achieved, establishing a monitoring mechanism will be crucial to ensure its effectiveness. Two key challenges will arise: determining the mechanism's structure and deciding on participant composition. The possibility of deploying UN peacekeepers to oversee the ceasefire has been discussed. This article examines the options available to the international community if a consensus is reached on utilising UN peacekeepers for ceasefire monitoring and explores the structural and operational considerations necessary to support such a mission. - Reproduced Ukraine war, United Nation, ceasefire, peacekeeping mission USI Journal 250827
