How to convert string to date ignoring zone part?

Because of the way dates are stored I need to get them exact as stored but zone make me trouble.

moment("2020-10-28T08:41:00.000Z").format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm") // Result: 2020-10-28 09:41

But I need to get value of this string date without zone, so I cut of 000Z part:

moment("2020-10-28T08:41:00").format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm") // Result: 2020-10-28 08:41

And that is the real value I need.
What I am trying to get is some more elegant way to do this conversion from string to date without making function to cutOffZone()?

If you use the moment.utc() constructor, it will use utc mode, so the time will not be converted to local time. From the moment documentation:

moment.utc(...) is utc mode. Ambiguous input is assumed to be UTC. Unambiguous input is adjusted to UTC.

// Use moment.utc() constructor...
const dt = new moment.utc("2020-10-28T08:41:00.000Z").format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm");
console.log(dt)

If you just need string manipulation:

"2020-10-28T08:41:00.000Z".split(".")[0]
