Savchenko's lawyer, Mark Feygin, said on April 6 that his client's demand was "her immediate return to Ukraine."
As UNIAN reported earlier, the Donetsk City Court of Russia's Rostov region sentenced Savchenko to 22 years' imprisonment in a penal colony.
Savchenko, 34, was charged with complicity in the June 2014 deaths of two Russian journalists near Luhansk, Ukraine, as well as with illegally entering Russia.
Russian officials say she directed mortar fire against a checkpoint manned by Russia-backed separatists in Ukraine that resulted in the deaths of the journalists.
Savchenko denies the charges, saying she did not recognize the Russian court or its right to try her.
