KIEV, Feb 8 – The discount to the price of Russian natural gas settled during the latest autumn trilateral gas talks has allowed Naftogaz Ukrayiny to save UAH 1 billion, Energy and Coal Industry Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn said.

"UAH 1 billion was saved on the discount on gas that we managed to receive from Russia thanks to effective talks only for the fourth quarter of 2015," he said at a meeting of the profile parliamentary committee on February 5.
