It’s not about defense, how are you going to go to war against a country that shares your currency, your market and your rules and that has basically no border control with you?

Since civil wars have happened quite a bit, this seems…less difficult than you assume.
You’re confusing the EU with NATO. The EU has no role whatsoever in defence policy, and can claim absolutely no credit for peace in Europe. Neither during the Cold War (how would that even work? Occupied Germany somehow invading France? Most of Europe weren’t even members then), nor now. Zelensky isn’t travelling to Brussels to give a speech to the European Parliament, he’s flying to Washington instead. NATO.
