The EU has been saddled for years by the poor-performing economies of the southern tier Mediterranean countries -- Greece, Spain, Italy -- that have been a drag on the EU collective economic prosperity from the beginning... and they aren't about to allow yet another potential poor economic partner into the EU until it is settled once and for all that Ukraine can safely be inducted into the EU without bankrupting them.
I predict this will never happen. Russia will, in time, prevail in Ukraine and it will successfully annex the two easternmost provinces and Crimea, and the EU can go pound sand. At least that's what it looks like is about to happen very soon.
That's pretty evil because they led Ukraine on that they could join the EU if only they get rid of the Russian influence since 2014, thereby pushing them to provoke war with Russia for that false promise of EU membership.

Ukraine won't join NATO, not unless NATO wants to declare de facto war against Russia (not that they haven't already of course)
