It turns out that Georgia should be punished for not having a war? Ukraine was granted status because of the war

Prime Minister Gharibashvili reiterates that Georgia is not given EU candidate status just because there is no war in the country, while Ukraine is given because there is a war:

"35 heroic soldiers sacrificed themselves for the idea of world peace, the fight against international terrorism, the idea of integration into NATO and the European Union. Up to 500 soldiers have been severely wounded, and what are we talking about today? Despite all this, it turns out that Georgia should be punished for not having a war in Georgia today? How do we understand this friends? It was directly stated in public that Ukraine was given the status because Ukraine is at war. "Gharibashvili said in his annual report before the parliament.
