Obviously it's not, but he's speaking in the context of Ukraine's EU candidacy, not whether the war is justified. I do also think that we shouldn't give EU membership to Ukraine before they fully got their act together on topics like corruption and fulfill all criteria of membership. They're working towards that but it'll take many years. Giving them some kind of fast track, or acting like they could join in 2-3 years, is IMO a terrible idea.
