Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Azerbaijan said up to 15,000 civilians had been stranded in the Azeri region of Kelbadzhar after Armenian forces launched a big offensive a week ago, Reuter reports from Moscow. An Azeri spokesman said Armenian forces had occupied 12 villages and attacked Kelbadzhar, near Nagorny Karabakh.

Fierce fighting flared in Georgia's breakaway region of Abkhazia yesterday, with five people killed and as many wounded, the Russian news agency Itar-Tass said. Tass said the fatalities occurred when military planes struck the regional centre, Sukhumi.
