Ukraine announces the fight: abolition decided from 2025!

Kiew, Ukraine - Ukraine will abolish the time change to summer time from 2025 and instead keep the winter time permanently. This decisive signal of independence from Russia was decided for both health and security reasons. According to the Ukrainian MPs, the time change has negative effects on the biorhythm of the population and leads to health problems, such as t-online.de reported. In addition, the legislators emphasize that the introduction of a uniform Kiewer period should strengthen the country's security situation and to return the areas occupied by Russia.

The step is part of an extensive strategy to differentiate itself from Russia. Almost a fifth of the Ukrainian state area and numerous cities are currently occupied. With the abolition of summer time, Ukraine not only wants to contain the negative effects on the health of its citizens, but also set a strong political sign. Summer time in Ukraine was so far synchronized from the end of March to the end of October, which made it more difficult to delimit, such as oe24.at

The draft law to abolish the time change underpins the efforts of Ukraine to establish a uniform time concept that enables better coordination within the country. While the discussion about the time change was also initiated in the European Union, it remains to be seen how this could affect the surrounding countries. The decision of Ukraine is a clear sign against the current geopolitical crisis and shows that the country is determined to emphasize its independence and security.
