The deal to provide Ukraine with discounted gas will expire Friday, the Russian news agency TASS quoted a Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak as saying Thursday.
Ukraine enjoyed a 17.77 U.S. dollar discount on gas in a previous contract with Russia, buying the much-needed resource at 212 dollars per 1,000 cubic meters, Novak said.
Novak said the discount was agreed on within the framework of the so-called "winter package" by Russia, Ukraine and the European Union.
In 2015, Ukraine halved the purchase of Russian gas due to strained revenue.
