Back in 2020, Ukraine could abandon the seasonal change of time. In October, the relevant draft law “On the calculation of time in Ukraine” was submitted to the Rada. Its initiator was the current speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk.

Among the factors by which he initiates changes, Stefanchuk named the negative impact of the change in the time cycle on the state of people's health, counteracting the aggression of the Russian Federation and the European integration of Ukraine.

“The draft law is aimed at countering aggression from the Russian Federation. As you know, in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, the time of the aggressor state - the Russian Federation was illegally set. Fixing the Kyiv time throughout Ukraine will strengthen our defense positions and will contribute to the de-occupation and reintegration of the temporarily occupied territories,” he assured.

In March 2021, it was decided to send the bill for revision. Then the document was supported by 212 people's deputies with the necessary 226. 226 people's deputies voted for revision.

According to the bill card, it is now awaiting a second reading, so this year Ukrainians will have to move the hands forward an hour.

Change of time is bad for people's health. Recall how to prepare for the transition to daylight saving time.
