Moldova will join the EU before Ukraine does.

Possibly, but can you explain why we (citizens of other EU countries) would want to have Moldova as a member?

The poorest country in Europe with a rampant corruption. Exactly what we need!

Also, is an EU membership good for Moldova?

A passage from a recent pro-EU article in a pro-EU Swedish newspaper (I'm surprised that they kept it in):

– We cannot export to the EU because we do not have the certificates they require. It was much easier to export to Russia, says apple grower Cristina Crudu to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

But don't worry, the political and adminstrative elite in Moldova will not suffer if their country is allowed to join the EU.
