I've instructed a procedural controller from the Prosecutor General's Office to take measures to let the experts work within Ukraine's legal framework starting from today," he added.
Sheremet was killed in a car bombing incident in the center of Kyiv on July 20. Media reported that the car belonged to founding editor of the Ukrainska Pravda online publication Olena Prytula, who was not in the car at the moment of the explosion.
Investigators are probing four main theories of the killing: Sheremet's professional activity, personal motives, the 'Russian trail,' and an attempt to kill Prytula.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko asked international partners for assistance in the investigation and discussed with the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine ways to engage FBI experts in explosives.
Later, the U.S. Department of State announced that the FBI had joined the investigation.
The farewell ceremony for Sheremet took place in Kyiv's Ukrainian House on Friday. His funeral will be held in Minsk, Belarus, where he was born.
