You're reading: Ukraine to switch to daylight saving time on March 25

Ukraine will switch to summer daylight saving time in the early hours of March 25, 2018, according to Cabinet of Ministers resolution No. 509 of May 13, 1996.

“The procedure for calculating time on Ukrainian territory is the following: the time of the second time zone (Kyiv time), with clocks, moved one hour forward annually on the last Sunday of March at 03.00 a.m.,” the document says.

On October 29, 2017, Ukraine switched to “winter time” by moving clocks one hour back.

Daylight saving time is used in almost 70 countries (including in almost all countries in Europe). The exceptions in Europe are Iceland, Russia and Belarus.
