KIEV (Sputnik) — The petition notes that Ukraine has no ambassador in Russia and calls for the appointment of a person "who will do everything it takes to bring our fellow countrymen back home."
In May, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to pardon Savchenko. She was delivered to Kiev following the pardoning.
On the day of Savchenko's return to Ukraine, a plane carrying Yevgeny Yerofeyev and Alexander Alexandrov, Russian citizens convicted and sentenced in Ukraine for terrorism-related activities landed at Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport, after Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed a corresponding decree to pardon them.
