The 30-year-old striker is seen as the cause of a conflict between manager Jose Mourinho and the club's hierarchy.
He has been accused of being the dressing-room 'spy' of owner and friend Roman Abramovich but has strongly denied the accusations.
"I am being made a scapegoat for things that have nothing to do with me," Shevchenko told The Times.
He added: "My contract runs for four years. I am here now and I am staying here. I am continuing to work to fit inside the team.
"I have been attacked from all sides but I intend to carry on. I will grit my teeth. I am not a quitter I just want to be kept out of the politics."
It is no secret that Abramovich wanted Shevchenko and the Ukraine star moved to Chelsea in a £30m summer deal from AC Milan.
