On the night of October 30 at 4 oʼclock Kyiv time, Ukraine switched to winter time. The hands of the clocks were moved back one hour.

The time change in Ukraine occurs together with the entire European Union and most European countries twice a year: on the last Sunday of March, the country switches to summer time, and every last Sunday of October, it returns to winter time, i.e., its standard daylight time.
Changing the clocks in Ukraine is regulated by a Cabinet resolution from 1996, but in 2021 parliamentarians wanted to abandon the practice of changing hands every six months, but the Verkhovna Rada did not support the draft law in the second reading.
- Currently, about 60 countries around the world continue to change the time forward and backward by an hour each year. Most of them are in Europe. And in some countries, for example, in the USA, Canada, Mexico, and Australia, the time is not changed in the entire territory.
