Understanding the +0h Gap: Ukraine vs Bucharest
Ukraine runs on Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) at UTC+03:00, currently observing daylight saving time. Bucharest runs on Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) at UTC+03:00, also currently on daylight saving time. That puts Ukraine no time difference Bucharest — a difference of +0h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Ukraine it is 9:00 AM in Bucharest. Midnight in Ukraine is 12:00 AM in Bucharest. Because both zones shift for daylight saving, the gap between them only changes during the few weeks each year when their transition dates differ.
