Ukraine Marks Somber Anniversary as Zelenskyy Vows Resolve Amid Fractured Allied Support

Ukrainians pay tribute to victims of the Russian invasion, on the day marking the fourth anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion.

Germany Braces for Major Local Transport Shutdown

 

150 bus, tram and local train companies with around 100,000 employees are affected by the strike.


Germany is set to experience widespread disruption as the Verdi public sector union has called for a nationwide strike across local transport networks on February 27 and 28. The walkout aims to increase pressure in ongoing negotiations over wages and working conditions for public transport employees. 

The strike will affect around 100,000 workers across bus, tram, and local train services, impacting major cities including Berlin and Hamburg. Negotiations have shown little progress, prompting Verdi to escalate its actions. Union representatives argue that without significant improvements, the long-term stability of public transport services cannot be guaranteed. 

With services expected to grind to a halt in many regions, commuters should prepare for delays and seek alternative travel options during the two-day strike.
