EU membership is usually a carrot dangled in front of countries to make them NATO bases, not the other way. Also no way Ukraine will join EU, people like Polish govt might scream for it, but they exactly know it’s impossible and they don’t even want to (especially Poland, if Ukraine was admitted to EU the trade disputes PL have with UA would blow up straight up in Poland’s face).
Calling it now: Ukraine will not become a member of NATO, but will become a member of the EU

I hope the EU has great fun trying to keep together the now totally disemboweled Ukrainian economy
That will be a complex one indeed. Perhaps first some intermediate status will be given long before actual EU membership.
