Date

Monday is the first day of the week.

Time

The 24-hour notation almost exclusively, with a colon as the standardised and recommended separator (e.g. 18:56). In spoken or informal Ukrainian, 12-hour notation can be used, but in this case in general no am/pm specification used, so this information is expected to be gained from context. Another difference from English is that half-hours are counted up to next hour: "половина восьмої", literally “half of eight” means 7:30, not 8:30.
