LINK Ukraine invasion spurs Georgia to apply for EU membership
The Georgian government submitted its application for European Union membership last week — two years ahead of schedule, as domestic support for Ukraine galvanized calls to look West.
Why it matters: Leaders in the Republic of Georgia hope that the shockwaves caused by Russia's invasion will spur reluctant EU members to admit longtime aspirants like Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova.

The NATO/EU push is what caused Ukraine's invasion so I don't see this as helping. The EU has no Article 5 so that likely won't save Georgia or Moldova. It would have been better for Russia to join the EU following Brexit but KGB always preferred the macho thingy.
