And My Comment:

In spite being at the same longitude as britain, both france and spain use the same time zone as germany, italy and sweden.

The number of Russian time zones _changes_ between the seasons, as some parts observe daylight saving time zones during Summer - and others do not.

And, perhaps due to Putin's and Lukashenko's close Friendship, while most of western Russia (including Moscow and Sankt Peterburg) does not observe daylight saving time in Summer, Belarus always does, throughout the entire year; thus, they are both UTC+3. As a result of that, while the Sun rises well after 9 am during the Belarusian winter, at least its wintry Afternoons are, Thankfully, not as gloomy, sad and depressing, as those of its antipathetic e.u. neighbours.

IT IS NOT  THE WAY I FEEL ANYMORE. =============================== For the Best, `Anashushim. 😃 I mean like, I Should Have Known. The moment the Babruysk railway station manager(?) had told me, back on Monday Monday (Only Four Days????
