The deadline for vetoing the law has passed, but Zelensky is not planning to sign it, according to sources. One of them mentioned that the idea for the bill originated from the Speaker of Parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, and the veto was avoided to "not offend" him.
However, when the consequences of its adoption were assessed, negative impacts on the economy were identified – "losses in the billions," said one of the publication's informants.
In addition to the arguments against signing the law, one official mentioned petitions like "don't steal our evenings," which were raised by Ukrainians.
If the law is not signed, Ukrainians will continue to switch to summer time in March and to winter time in October, notes "BBC News Україна."
