  "summary": "French security expert Stéphane Audrand has emphasized that security guarantees for Ukraine must include a readiness to fight alongside Ukrainian forces if the country is attacked. Audrand, an Associate Fellow at the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI) Security Studies Center, highlighted the importance of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty and Article 42(7) of the Treaty on European Union, which provide for assistance to a member state in the event of armed aggression. However, as Ukraine is not yet a member of these organizations, separate arrangements would be necessary, with terms dependent on the circumstances of hostilities ending. Audrand cautioned against a ceasefire simply being declared, as it could create a difficult situation and allow the aggressor to continue its actions, especially in the age of drones. He also dismissed the deployment of a UN disengagement force or an OSCE mission as ineffective options for Ukraine and stressed that foreign forces would need to be deployed from the very first day of a ceasefire.",
