It doesn't.  See my email, and:

$ date
Thu Jun 30 10:51:34 PDT 2022
$ TZ=UTC0 date
Thu Jun 30 17:51:38 UTC 2022
$ TZ=Europe/Kiev date
Thu Jun 30 20:51:50 EEST 2022
$ TZ=Europe/Kyiv date
Thu Jun 30 17:51:55 UTC 2022

(Any UN*X that has a list of cities in its time zone chooser should offer a "tzchooser" command, or something such as that, that takes a city name as an argument, with other region information provided as necessary, and outputs the appropriate tzdb region name, so the user can do something such as

	TZ=`citychooser Kyiv` date

or

	TZ=`citychooser Paris TX` date

and get the right answer.)

And Apple don't ship it yet.

It is.

It is, indeed, not related to the tz database or the pending change, as per my earlier email.
