According to
http://w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/zweb_n/webproc4_1?id=&pf3511=40036
Ukraine has adopted permanent DST today, September 20th.
It means we would actually benefit from keeping EEST for Belarus and
Ukraine.

Here if we would keep EEST name instead of MINST, we can use the same
time zone naming for both Ukraine and Belarus.
