Leader of the Batkivschyna Party's faction in Ukraine's parliament Yulia Tymoshenko has said that she is not seeking the post of the country's prime minister, and representatives of her faction are not interested in government posts.

"I personally announce that I am not seeking the post of prime minister," Tymoshenko told reporters on the sidelines of a parliamentary session on Thursday, adding that members of the Batkivschyna team do not want ministerial posts either.

"We declare that we will vote for a government that will be formed without any political quotas, without any political influence [...] a government that will enjoy society's support," she said.
