"The economic feasibility of the DST has not been proven, and the damage is obvious," Ruslan Stefanchuk

( Information Department of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Secretariat )


First Deputy Chairperson of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk told what is the need to cancel of the DST.
According to him, the DST has a negative effect on human biorhythms. As he noted, the second reason is the need to establish and consolidate a single Kyiv time throughout Ukraine.
"95% of the territory of Ukraine is within the time zone UTC + 2. It is a geopolitical task to introduce a single time on the whole territory of Ukraine. I would like to remind you that after the annexation of Crimea, the Russian Federation immediately made the decision and established Moscow time in the temporarily occupied territories," the politician said.
The First Vice Speaker of the Parliament of Ukraine believes that both "summer" and "winter" time have their pros and cons.
"We proposed to leave Kyiv time, as 95% of the territory of Ukraine is within the single time zone - UTC + 2. Only Luhansk and partly Donetsk and Kharkiv regions, as well as a small part of Zakarpattia region are in other time zones. The time difference between them is 68 minutes. As a result, the East is dissatisfied with summer time, because it dawns there at 3 o'clock at night, and the West - with winter, because of which it is still dark at 9 o'clock in the morning," Ruslan Stefanchuk clarified the situation.
According to him, "for the convenience of all, the text of the draft law submitted for the second reading provided that local governments may, if necessary, recommend the start of the working day for enterprises, institutions and organizations of all forms of ownership in the territory."
Ruslan Stefanchuk reminded that the draft Law No. 4201 "On the computation of time in Ukraine' had been submitted for the second reading.
"We will improve the draft law and I hope that this idea will be implemented in the near future," he said.
