KIEV, Sept. 20 – Ukraine will no longer use daylight saving time, after 266 MPs voted on Tuesday to scrap the system in the country.

"The Verkhovna Rada decrees to fix the time of the second time zone by adding one hour on the territory of Ukraine from March 27, 2011," reads the draft bill, which was authored by Oleh Nadosha from the Regions Party.

The document also notes that previous draft bills have lost their validity, in particular, on the introduction of the daylight saving time from 1992 and the draft bill on the changing timekeeping on the territory of the Soviet Union from 1990.
