What a New York day is in Kyiv

A New York day begins in the late Kyiv afternoon and ends at midnight there, 2 hours of it after 22:00.

Daylight in Kyiv on your shift: 15 December, from 4 pm (sun 7:52 am to 3:54 pm): all 8 hours after dark; 15 June, from 4 pm (sun 4:46 am to 9:10 pm): dark from 9:10 pm, 5.25 hours in daylight2.

Clock changes in New York and Ukraine

New York goes forward on Sunday 14 March and back on Sunday 7 November (the second Sunday in March and the first in November)1. H.R. 139, a bill for year-round daylight time, has been in the Senate since 15 July 20263. Ukraine goes forward on 28 March 2027 and back on 31 October 2027; a 2024 law to stay on winter time all year was never signed4. The two changes fall weeks apart, so the Kyiv schedule shifts by an hour twice in spring and in autumn.
