"All previous cases [explosions and fires at BRSM-Nafta filling stations which the company considered as terrorist' attacks] were not properly investigated, and we are not waiting for aid from the state and want to attract international experts," he said.

"We want to attract even the experts who investigated into the MH17 disaster in eastern Ukraine," he said.

Melnychuk and Pieper said that BRSM-Nafta believes that the main cause of the oil depot fire was a terrorist attack.

The company announced an award of UAH 1 million for information on the cause of the fire.
