Yeah I'm not convinced that Ukraine is a real concern for the EU. The US has been trying to pull Ukraine into NATO for decades, which pissed off Russia because it's right next to them, and we thought they weren't going to do anything about it. Would the EU alone have followed such a strategy? Probably not, seeing how Germany blocked Ukraine from NATO in 2008 specifically to avoid angering Russia.
