There were two separate gas discount agreements with Russia and Ukraine, one discount for the Black Sea Fleet lease and another as part of the December 2013 loan package designed to keep Ukraine out of default.

The 2013 loan package wasn't signed off by either side.

The only discount active was the Black Sea Fleet lease discount.

More precisely I should say the 2013 loan package was never ratified and Russia never bought the bonds.

Not sure what that means, the special bonds Russia purchased were underwritten in London, making them subject to English law.
