Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Ukraine
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Ukraine decides
Practice varies across Ukraine: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
RAMU Ummah's Council for Fatwas and Research sets an official date each year, but in Ukraine's multi-ethnic Muslim community (Crimean Tatars, migrants) some congregations instead follow the date announced by their country of origin, so practice is mixed. The 1446 fast began March 1, 2025, per general news coverage; the 1447 figure of February 18, 2026 comes from a calendar aggregator.
