Switching to daylight saving time. When and where to turn clocks

On Sunday, the night before the election in Ukraine, the switch to daylight saving time will be held. On the night of 30 to 31 of March at 3 o’clock in the morning, you need to put the clock one hour on. Thus, Ukrainians will wake up on this day one hour earlier.

Along with Ukraine, more than 70 countries will switch to daylight saving time. The exceptions are Iceland, Russia and Belarus.

The deputies of the European Parliament voted to abolish this practice as of 2021. The decision is not yet final and is subject to discussion.But according to surveys, the overwhelming majority of Europeans (84 percent of respondents) support the cancellation of time change. It is possible that Ukraine will also abandon this practice following the EU. "There is no economic justification for the annual switch to daylight saving time and no information on electricity saving during the daylight saving time", – the Ministry of Economic Development informed.
