Imho he has valid points regarding Ukraine’s chances of EU membership, in its pre-war state Ukraine was very far from ready. There’s a chance the war will help with reducing corruptions, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Obviously there is corruption in the EU and its member states and it is causing issues for the people and the operation of the EU itself. In this situation the last thing the EU needs is a large country, with even bigger corruption issues, joining.
They’ve been pushing several anti corruption laws but that’s obviously still a slow process to actually root the people who are corrupt out. Though, it still might work as a preventive measure too. Either way, as the other commenter stated, that’s not really any sort of excuse for Russia’s invasion (which are also even more corrupt than Ukraine). And Juncker has always been a hypocritical piece of shit.

Bit rich though considering the amount of corruption in the EU.
Qatargate
Azerbaijan bribes
UVL doing dodgy deals with Pfizer
And Juncker himself resigned due to corruption

I saw that comment however, I have not seen anyone make these types of excuses in the first place.
