"European leaders have decided to open EU membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova and to grant candidate status to Georgia. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky hailed the decision, made at a summit in Brussels, as "a victory" for his country and Europe. A spokesperson for Charles Michel, the President of the European Council, said that agreement was unanimous."

It's a big step but there's a much bigger one left to the membership. This is more of a gesture than anything concrete. I'm willing to bet that at least one of the remaining former Yugoslavian countries will enter EU before Ukraine or Moldova. And Georgia is much further.
Not that I'm opposed to this move, only complaint is that they handed Hungary ten billion of frozen assets to not block this. Difficult spot, but they shouldn't have given in to Orban's blackmail like that.
