Russia is not considering the option of giving Ukraine a new gas discount in the third quarter of this year, Energy Minister Alexander Novak said.

"No, this is not being considered," he told reporters, answering a relevant question.

"Why would we consider this; the price is the market price quoted at a discount, and any new decisions regarding this issue are unnecessary," he said.

"This is a measured decision made in the end of the previous quarter, in late June," Novak said.
