Daylight saving time in Ukraine

Daylight saving time in Ukraine

Daylight Saving Time in Ukraine (also locally known by the expression "summer-time") was introduced in 1981.

History

Daylight saving time was introduced in Ukraine in the early 1980's; from 1981 till 1989 this was Moscow Summer Time, after independence Eastern European Summer Time is being upheld since 1992.[1][2]

On 20 September 2011 the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) canceled the return to from Eastern European Summer Time to Eastern European Time.[3][1]. This meant Ukraine would have UTC+03:00 permanently (also known as Further-eastern European Time). On 18 October 2011 the Parliament abolished these plans to join Further-eastern European Time.[4][2]. 295 MPs voted in favor out of 349 registered MPs.
