About Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time, defined since 1972 as the time at the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) maintained by BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) in Sèvres, France. UTC is computed as a weighted average of approximately 400 atomic clocks at ~80 national metrology institutes (NIST in the US, NPL in UK, PTB in Germany, NICT in Japan, KRISS in Korea, etc.) per the formal definition in ITU-R Recommendation TF.460-6 (2002). UTC is functionally identical to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) for civil purposes but differs slightly in its underlying timescale — UTC uses atomic seconds with occasional leap seconds inserted (announced by IERS Bulletin C ~6 months in advance, last leap second was December 31, 2016, and the system may be retired by 2035 per Resolution D of CGPM 2022). UTC is the standard for aviation (ICAO Annex 5), maritime navigation (IMO COLREGS), all internet protocols (NTP, PTP per IEEE 1588), all scientific publications, GPS / Galileo / GLONASS / BeiDou GNSS, and Universal Time on Wikipedia/Wikidata.
About Eastern European Time (EET)
Eastern European Time (EET, IANA: Europe/Athens, Europe/Helsinki) is the civil time during winter for Eastern European countries, set at UTC+2:00. EET serves approximately 50 million people across: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine (partial, since 1990), and parts of Russia's Kaliningrad exclave (USZ1 = UTC+2 year-round, no DST). EET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to EEST = UTC+3) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC for EU member states; Ukraine and Moldova follow the same schedule but as non-EU members independently. Major EET cities: Athens (700K city, 3.7M metro), Helsinki (660K), Bucharest (1.7M), Sofia (1.3M), Riga (615K), Vilnius (590K), Tallinn (450K), Nicosia 320K), Kyiv (3M). The Russian portion of Ukraine after 2014 may use Moscow Time (MSK = UTC+3) per Russian government decree, while the Ukrainian government continues to use EET for the entire country.
