Member of Parliament Nadia Savchenko says she is ready to become president in Ukraine if people want, but she is not sure that Ukrainians have learnt to vote without being bribed.

"Ukrainians, if you want me to be president – well, I'll do it," she said at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday.

At the same time, she doubted that people in Ukraine have learned "not to vote for buckwheat [buckwheat was used to be included in food baskets distributed by candidates participating in elections among voters as gifts]."

Later, answering a question from a Russian journalist who told her that her words about her possible presidency had topped the news headlines in Russia, Savchenko added she did not rule out her presidency, but she was not going to work on Bankova Street, the seat of the presidential administration, so far.

"I'm not going to Bankova [Street] tomorrow. When I'm ready and will be able to do this, if people say that I'm needed there – I'll be there. And the same way, if a first Maidan [Savchenko possibly means a rally demanding her resignation if she were president – the translator's note] comes out and says that I'm not needed, I'm not going to stick to the [presidential] seat," she said.
