This is the best summary I could come up with:

KYIV ­— The European Commission’s recommendation that Ukraine start formal talks to become a member of the EU afforded a rare moment of joy to a country fighting off an invasion by Russia, Olga Stefanishyna, Ukrainian deputy prime minister, said Thursday.

“Ukraine inspired Europe” and the EU “returned the faith,” added Stefanishyna, whose portfolio includes European and Euro-Atlantic integration.

However, much work remains ahead of a December European Council meeting, at which EU leaders will decide whether to back the Commission’s advice.

Although the Commission’s enlargement report acknowledged that Kyiv has made tremendous progress on reforming the country despite the Russian invasion, Ukraine still has to improve its track record on fighting corruption; enact a law to regulate lobbying within an action plan to counter oligarchs; and improve protection of the languages of national minorities.

In September the Ukrainian delegation handed Hungary a detailed roadmap that included both practical steps, such as providing Hungarian-speaking children with textbooks, and plans to change legislation.

But it makes sense when you join the peaceful, democratic, prosperous bloc, where a lot of things have to happen by consensus,” she said.
