Summary:
With default setting time zone for Odessa/Ukraine is shown as Moscow Standard Time. That is wrong. In whole Ukraine is Eastern Europe Time.

sudo systemsetup -gettimezone
Password:
Time Zone: Europe/Simferopol

Above is the reason of the bug. Simferopol is in Crimea. Crimea is part of Ukraine occupied by Russia. Russia set Moscow time in Crimea. Odessa is closer to Simferopol than to Kiev. Probably that's the reason why time in Odessa is set to Simferopol time but not to Kiev time.

Problem could be solved by setting timezone in command line:

sudo systemsetup -settimezone Europe/Kiev
Password:
Set TimeZone: Europe/Kiev

But system should set time right by default!

Steps to Reproduce:
Come to Odessa and check time in system with default settings and compare with wristwatch.

Expected Results:
Time in Odessa and in whole Ukraine should be set by Kiev, not by Simferopol.

Actual Results:
Time is wrongly set to Simferopol time (Moscow time).

Version:
10.9.4

Notes:
Have a look on image - it's obvious time is set wrongly.

Configuration:
Default configuration.
