for some reason the UK doesn't count as European, but Ukraine does

makes sense to me

One of them doesn't want to be part of Europe and the other really really does

despite the European Commission's attempt to claim the term Europe for itself, the EU and Europe are not the same thing

If you are from USA, I will suggest you to think about the name of your country and your continent and compare the situation with Europe.

One of them regrets it didn't want to be part of Europe
