That is a measure of distance, not time.
- that's why he said: light years away
  as in: there is still a great amount of distance Orban thinks Ukraine needs to cover before they converge with the EU admissions acceptability criteria
  God, I can't believe I just had to defend Orban
  
  "Years away" is also a phrase, honestly it could easily be either and it takes more of a stretch to read it like you did than as a mistake.
  
  Most people consider light years a measure of time, not distance.
