There are a shedload of steps that any candidate country has to go through, but I have no doubt that it will be accelerated. The best that can be done for now is to have a clear commitment to work with the Ukrainian government to push a faster time table. Remember that Turkey have been waiting decades (and as long as Erdogan is there, a lot longer).
