The EU seems to do well when crisis happen and I suspect it's because change is really needed at those times, now is likely no exception with what's going on in Ukraine, I suspect we are going to get much stronger cooperation and integrating with the EU and it's members on security, military and energy matters.
Scares like Putin is doing usually pushes people together and that's likely going to be the case with the EU members over the next 5 or 10 years.
On that note, the UK might actually get closer to the EU thanks to Putin, the dynamics will very likely change because of everything that is going on in Ukraine but that won't mean the UK can rejoin the EU any time soon, it just likely means the door might open up sooner than it would otherwise, either way, that option won't open up till we have a government in power that has little to nothing to do with Brexit so it's at least a decade off.
The timing of the UK leaving with the pandemic and now everything in Ukraine has really put the UK in a bad position, EU-US relations are likely going to get much stronger here because now the realization is kicking in that they need to work together, what we are seeing with Putin could be China next, so the threat is still out there is China gets hostile and that's likely going to band the EU and US closer together, that is unfortunate for the UK because they will be on the outside looking in, not really having much of a say at the table and mostly just agreeing to what the EU and US decides to do, more or less what we are already seeing.
