---- end quote

This means that from 1992 on, Ukraine had DST with begin time at 02:00 
am, on last SUnday in March, and end time 03:00 am, last Sunday in 
September.
The Google translation above saying '2 pm' is most likely an error. The 
Urkainian original says 2 годині which mean 2  o'clock.

TZ database holds E-Eur rules for 1992 - 1995, which has changes at 
midnight local time. This is clearly wrong.

Introduction of EU-Rules in 1996
--------------------------------
The introduction of EU rules seems to have happened in 1996, not in 1995 
as TZ database claims.

CABINET OF MINISTERS OF UKRAINE
RESOLUTION

on May 13, 1996 N 509

Kyiv
On the order of computation time on the territory of Ukraine

Given the calculation time operating in Europe since 1996 , the Cabinet 
of Ministers of Ukraine resolves:

1. To introduce in Ukraine a method of calculating the time: the second 
time zone ( Kyiv time) the transfer year -clockwise on the last Sunday 
of March at 3 pm for 1 hour forward on the last Sunday of October at 
4:00 1 hour ago.

2. Establish that:

movement by rail, water, air and long-distance transport of general use 
and operation of long-distance telephone and telegraph communications in 
Ukraine is carried out by the Moscow time ;

calculating ship time at sea conducted by the international system of 
time zones. When staying vehicles on roads and ports of other countries 
use the time that is set there .

3. Oblige ministries and departments of Ukraine , the Government of the 
Autonomous Republic of Crimea, regional, Kyiv and Sevastopol city state 
administrations to ensure timely develop and introduce measures to 
transition to the calculation of time specified by this Resolution.

4. To direct the State Commission alone time and standard frequency 
Ukraine :

to monitor compliance with the established procedure of calculation time 
and the organization of work to assess its effectiveness;

5. To recognize as having repealed , Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of 
20 March , 1992 N 139 " On the Procedure for the Calculation of Time in 
Ukraine " ( Ukraine FY 1992 , N 4 , p. 93).
---------- end quote

Note that §5 refers to the earlier quote from 1992, repealing it. This 
implies that no other regulations had been issued in between.

As this cabinet decision is from May 1996, it seems likely that the 
transition in March 1996, which predates it, was still at 2:00 am and 
not at 3:00 as would have been under EU rules.

This is why I have set the change to EU rules into May 1996, so that
the change in March is stil covered by the Ukraine rule. The next change 
in October 1996 happened under EU rules.

I propose the following zone info:

Rule   Ukraine   1992    1996  -  Mar     lastSun  2:00   1:00    S
Rule   Ukraine   1992    1995  -  Sep     lastSun  3:00   0       -

                         2:00    1:00    EEDT    1991 Sep 29 3:00

                         2:00    EU      EE%sT


TZ database holds three other zones for Ukraine,
Zone Europe/Uzhgorod 	the most western part, bordering Slovakia, 
Hungary, Romania

Zone Europe/Zaporozhye	the most eastern part

Zone Europe/Zaporozhye  Crimea peninsula

I have not yet worked out the consequences for these three zones, as we 
(me and my US colleague David Cochrane) are still trying to get more 
information upon these local deviations from Kiev rules.
