You're joking, right?
It's not going to happen, and for very good reasons.
Former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has slammed the possibility of Ukraine joining the EU, lambasting the country as massively “corrupt.” “Anyone who has had anything to do with Ukraine knows that this is a country that is corrupt at all levels of society. Despite its efforts, it is not ready for accession; it needs massive internal reform processes,” Juncker said during an interview with German outlet Augsburger Allgemeine published Thursday. “Making false promises” to Ukrainians regarding EU accession “would be neither good for the EU nor for Ukraine,” added Juncker, who was boss at the Berlaymont in Brussels from 2014 to 2019. “You shouldn’t make false promises to the people in Ukraine who are up to their necks in suffering,” Juncker said. “I am very angry about some voices in Europe who are telling Ukrainians that they can become members immediately.”
“Ukraine is working toward getting a formal invitation to join (NATO) at the upcoming conference in July 2024 (a significant, but not final step). They are also on a fast track to join the EU.”

Since the Summer, Ukraine has passed a host of new laws, and instituted many reforms, recommended by the EU to qualify - the whole list that was provided.
