"Our focus is on rebuilding a modern, capable Ukrainian army," said UK Defence Secretary John Healey.

As expected, a useless security guarantee then, as worthless as the original Budapest Memorandum, it all but guarantees that if fighting broke out again, that the UK would quickly pull their troops out of Ukraine before they get shot, if that isn't the case then there's no reason why they shouldn't be on the future ceasefire frontlines.
What this tells us is that UK is terrified that if they were on the frontlines, that British soldiers would be shot at if Russia decides to attack again, therefore it also shows us that the UK doesn't want to risk entering war with Russia as part of any security guarantee. If UK doesn't believe Russia would break the ceasefire, then there's no reason to not put British troops on the frontline, but clearly UK believes there's a chance Russia would break the ceasefire, and therefore doesn't want British Troops dragged into a war.
These are not security guarantees.
