Europe/Kyiv · UTC+2
Ukraine splits the year between Eastern European Time (EET, UTC+2) and Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+3), the latter running from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. That is why a flat “Ukraine is UTC+2” answer is only right for part of the year. The clock above is always current. One zone covers the whole country, on the same schedule as Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Finland. The IANA id was renamed from Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv in 2022, and older software may still use the former.

Common questions
- What time is it in Ukraine right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Ukraine, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. It reads your device's clock and converts it using the Europe/Kyiv rules, so it stays correct across daylight-saving changes.
- What is the UTC offset in Ukraine?
- EET is UTC+2 and EEST is UTC+3. Ukraine is on EEST from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, and on EET for the rest of the year.
- Does Ukraine observe daylight saving time?
- Yes. Clocks go forward an hour for Eastern European Summer Time, which runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, and back again at the end of it.
- What is the IANA timezone for Ukraine?
- Europe/Kyiv. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for Ukraine rather than one fixed number.
