Is there a reason not to name the new zone(s) for the country or countries in which they apply? Either:
1. "Ukraine-Belarus Time" (UBT or UBST) in both countries, or the other way around with Belarus first.
Or:
2. "Ukraine Standard Time" (UST) in Ukraine and "Belarus Standard Time" (BST) in Belarus.
There would appear to be no problem with having multiple names for the same offset; UTC+3 already has at least two other designations in the database, for Arabia (AST) and East Africa (EAT).
