German media on November 28 began with significant attention on the death of a National Guard soldier in Washington D.C., and renewed discussions about President Trump's Ukraine peace plan. This quickly shifted to domestic political issues as the coalition government reached an agreement on the controversial pension package by early morning, a major development after previous days of intense debate.
Through the late morning and early afternoon, the pension package agreement dominated headlines, with ongoing discussions about securing majority approval and the potential for future reforms. Concurrently, a corruption investigation targeting a top advisor to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy emerged. By the late afternoon, this investigation led to the resignation of Zelenskyy's Chief of Staff, Andriy Yermak, a significant development in the ongoing Ukrainian political landscape.
The evening continued to focus on the pension package, with coalition leaders pushing it through despite internal resistance from younger Union members. Discussions also centered on the restructuring and new leadership of the AfD's youth organization.
