Donetsk time zone and UTC offset
Clocks in Donetsk are set to EEST, 3 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+03:00). Software that asks for a region wants Europe/Kiev — the IANA identifier for this zone.
Daylight saving applies here. Clocks next move back 1 hour on Sunday, 25 October 2026, putting Donetsk on EET and changing its gap to every other zone listed below.
Bear in mind Ukraine spans 3 zones across the 46 cities we cover — checking a second city in the same country is often necessary.
