World Clock
Time in Ukraine
Shown above is the current time across Ukraine, alongside the time zone Ukraine keeps and the live local time in its main cities.
The whole of Ukraine runs on a single time, EEST (UTC+3) — so every city listed on this page reads exactly the same clock.
Ukraine does move its clocks for part of the year. The next change lands on 25 October 2026 — and because of it, the gap between Ukraine and any country that stays on one fixed offset all year shifts by an hour on that date.
