Such flags were already used in Ukraine during the Euromaidan protests.

What we're talking about, here, is that the EU flag is kind of a "Maintiendrai" flag. Like the flag of the Dutch ruler conquering England, with his "Je Maintiendrai" begging the question "WHAT is it you intend to maintain?", the flag of the EU has a big blue field in its centre, inviting anybody to add something there. In the case of Ukraine EU relations, I read this as a friendship flag.
