It might also be a bargaining chip for negotiation, Putin would need to show some sort of 'victory' so if Ukraine then said they are withdrawing the application that would be one thing Putin could point to doing.

The EU is already in this with the supply of weapons, logistics and intelligence. Some of which is happening under the banner of the EU as opposed to the underlying member states. The EU is also coordinating sanctions.
