I don't think there's much appetite within the EU for rapid expansion; we're still grappling with Poland and Hungary's violations of the union's shared principles of liberal democracy. The EU needs significant reforms before it's likely to start admitting new members. But certainly in the abstract, I agree there's a sense of drawing together, with the vast majority of Europe against Russian aggression. Finland probably should join NATO, as any benefits of neutrality must be dwindling under the EU's sanctions of Russia.
