From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ukraine's president has set a 7 December date for snap elections after dissolving parliament.
Viktor Yushchenko ordered parliament to be dissolved yesterday and called the early vote after the pro-Western coalition with his estranged Orange Revolution partner Yulia Tymoshenko collapsed and no new alliance was forged.
He set the date for new elections in a decree today.
The vote will be the third parliamentary election in this politically volatile ex-Soviet country in as many years.
It is likely to throw the country into further turmoil, as Tymoshenko said she would contest the decision.
Yushchenko pulled out of the coalition last month after Tymoshenko moved to trim his powers over ties with Russia.
