Ukraine will switch to winter time on October 26: what you need to know.

Switching to winter time in Ukraine

According to inkorr.com: On the night of October 25 to 26, 2025, at 4:00 AM, clocks will need to be set back one hour. This will give us a little extra time for sleep.

Although the Verkhovna Rada has decided to abolish seasonal clock changes in 2024, President Volodymyr Zelensky has not yet signed the corresponding law. Therefore, the old rules still apply.

The essence of energy saving

Changing clocks is important for energy conservation, but its relevance in modern conditions raises many controversies.

It is important to remember: electronics will automatically update the time, while mechanical clocks will have to be adjusted manually.

The body needs 3-7 days to adapt to the new rhythm, so doctors advise getting enough sleep, reducing gadget use, and spending more time outdoors.

Despite numerous debates, switching clocks to winter time remains an important measure for energy conservation. To adapt more easily to the changes, monitor your daily routine and spend more time outside.
