According to inkorr.com: In 2025, Ukrainians will return to winter time. Although the government initially planned to cancel this transition, the president has not yet signed the relevant document, so the situation remains unchanged.
Date of the transition and its features
The transition to winter time is scheduled for October 26, 2025. Clocks will be set back one hour at 4:00 AM, allowing each of us to gain an additional hour of sleep.

Automation of the process and its impact on health
The automatic time change will not affect owners of modern devices, but those with mechanical watches will have to set the time manually.
Approximately 70 countries implement the time change, although many of them have already abandoned it. Studies show the negative impact of the clock transition on health, in particular, it can lead to increased cases of strokes and heart attacks.
Experts' advice
Experts recommend preparing in advance for the time change: adjust your sleep schedule a few days before the transition, engage in sports, and ensure sufficient morning lighting to adapt more easily.
Despite the initial decision to cancel the clock transition, the authorities provide details on the transition to winter time in 2025 and recommendations for adaptation. Scientific research confirms the negative impact of changing clocks on the body, which may serve as a basis for further changes in the system of transitioning between summer and winter time.
