Time zones and timing
Outside Russia, time zones run from UTC+2 in Ukraine and Moldova (UTC+3 in summer) through UTC+4 in the Caucasus and UTC+5 in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan to UTC+6 in Kyrgyzstan. Russia spans eleven zones from UTC+2 to UTC+12, Moscow is on UTC+3, and none of these clocks change except in Ukraine and Moldova.
Alphabets and message length
Cyrillic and Armenian or Georgian scripts are Unicode, so a single segment holds 70 characters. Latin-script Uzbek and Azerbaijani texts may still need Unicode for letters like ğ or ş.
Tips for this region
- Plan for Unicode pricing: the counter shows 70 characters per segment.
- Kazakhstan shares +7 with Russia; numbers starting +7 6 or +7 7 are priced as Kazakhstan.
- Use the recipient's script for names in merge fields.
