it's almost 28 years of using city name of non-existing USSR. I propose to use correct timezone name in zone.tab (also zone1970.tab?) UA +5026+03031 Europe/Kyiv More info from MFA of Ukraine: https://mfa.gov.ua/en/page/open/id/5418
Already had that discussion twice this month: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2019-May/027895.html https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2019-May/027914.html and https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/master/europe#L3880 as explained in https://data.iana.org/time-zones/theory.html Europe/Kiev is a stable English identifier which should be considered as a link id like 6/666 and not be confused with labels which should be presented to users: feel free to rename europe to 6 on your systems and Kiev to 666. Labels for display are available for many languages from the CLDR project and can be handled by the code in the ICU project. -- Take care.
