Parsing ZonedDateTime independently on local timezone

I am trying to parse ZonedDateTime (or Instant) without having to go through LocalDate, which is influenced with local timezone.

I would like to be able to do something like:

val string = "2020-02-02T10:00:00"
val timeZone = ZoneId.of("Europe/Vienna")
val zoned = ZonedDateTime.parse(string, DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE_TIME, timeZone)

However there is not even any similar method - all the methods require using of LocalDate, which unfortunately yields different results when having different local timezone. I want to completely ignore local timezone and be able to create ZonedDateTime or Instant just from given parameters.

The input string you have just represent local date time, so first parse it into LocalDateTime and then convert it into ZoneDateTime at zone, I would not say Instant because it always represent the instant in UTC

ZonedDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(string,DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME)
                                      .atZone(timeZone);
