WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund on Thursday said it was not discussing a new loan program with Ukraine, which late last year agreed to take a $15-billion (9 billion pounds) package of loans and cheaper gas from Russia.

"The Ukrainian authorities have not expressed an interest in resuming discussions on these matters with the fund lately," IMF spokesman Gerry Rice told reporters. He said the fund was ready to help Ukraine restore macroeconomic stability if asked.
