Ukraine is not ready to be an EU member. I think they are clearly on the path to EU membership and the EU should keep developing closer ties but they are not ready yet. Before this war happened corruption and equal rights where still major issues in Ukraine and the war does not change that.

@bonnierobinson8684 It doesn't change that they are not ready to be an EU member and that more work is needed there before that is viable. None of the criticisms against them joining a month ago have really changed much. The EU should absolutely support them and help them get to the point of becoming a member. It should help defend them now because it also has a strong interest in the long term health of Ukraine. None of that requires membership.
