The businessman is the second Lukoil executive to have died in recent months. Chief executive Alexander Subbotin, died after suffering from an apparent “cardiac arrest” reports stated at the time.

In early March, Lukoil called for an end to the conflict with a statement saying the board “expresses its concern over the ongoing tragic events in Ukraine and its deepest sympathy to all those affected by this tragedy”.

The statement added: “We stand for the immediate cessation of the armed conflict and fully support its resolution through the negotiation process and through diplomatic means.”

Lukoil has not commented on the incident.
