Can we swap Hungary for Ukraine?

I feel bad for Ukraine but Hungary shouldn't have joined in 2004 and if Ukraine joined now I am afraid in the end they would end up doing the same.

I don't have a solution to this tho, because at the same time I want to help them but on the other hand I am a federalist and I really don't want more nations that will be against any further integration. Complicated idk.

They should immediately join the economic area tho and the EU should help rebuild as if they were European. Also maybe that rebuilding effort would help quickly create a sense of belonging in Europe so maybe all I am saying is my fears talking too loudly I don't know....

Ukraine can't join EU. Joining EU has MANY requirements which Ukraine doesn't fulfil, yet.
These are MEMBERSHIP TALKS, which Hungary has vetoed.
