Prime Minister Mykola Azarov is convinced that Ukraine is not very welcomed in the European Union. On the contrary, several European countries consider unacceptable Ukraine's joining the EU and some politicians prevent this in every way, he said in an interview with Russian newspaper Zavtra.

"We are not idealists and do not believe that someone is waiting for us in the European Union and wants Ukraine to join the European Union. On the contrary, a number of EU governments consider our entry to this union as unacceptable... We understand that a certain number of politicians in Europe oppose Ukraine's accession to the EU," Azarov said.

He noted that when the issue of political association was actively discussed, "even the word "joining" caused the rejection."
