Date and time notation in Ukraine

Date

In Ukraine, short dates are written in day.month.year from; for example: 21.04.2017. Slashes sometimes are used as date separator: 21/04/2017.

Long dates start with day, followed by month and ended with year. For example: [21 липня 2017 р.] Error: {{Lang}}: unrecognized language code: ua (help)

Monday is the first day of the week.

Time

The 24-hour notation almost exclusively, with a colon as the standardised and recommended separator (e.g. “[18:56] Error: {{Lang}}: unrecognized language code: ua (help)”). In spoken or informal Ukrainian, 12-hour notation can be used, but in this case in general no am/pm specification used, so this information is expected to be gained from context. Another difference from English is that half-hours are counted up to next hour: “[половина восьмої] Error: {{Lang}}: unrecognized language code: ua (help)”, literally “half of eight” means 7:30, not 8:30.
