Thanks! It works when set the environment option in the `teams` CMD.

Dmytro Verbytskyi:

I have Ubuntu 20.04. To make it all automated, we could add the
environment variable for Teams with the necessary time zone.

Just open /usr/share/applications/teams.desktop in your text editor,
find section [Desktop Entry], and find a line in it

Exec=teams

Update this line to

Exec=env TZ=Europe/Kiev /usr/bin/teams %U

That's it, now it works for me without using CLI to start the
application.

The reason is really that Teams have no idea about Kyiv and its time
zone. I hope MS will fix that.

Title:
  Wrong Timezone Name in MS Teams - Kyiv instead of Kiev

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  To solve MS Teams Calendar issue on Ubuntu, we need to update the time
  zone:

  > sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Kyiv

  but it doesn't work, the only in old-fashioned spell 'kiev' works:

  > sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Kiev

  So, is it possible to add the time zone 'Europe/Kyiv' to the list?
