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.Four Russian soldiers were killed in Grozny, the Chechen capital, when their armoured personnel carrier hit a mine. At least five others were injured.
Heavy fighting had marred the first day of the proclaimed ceasefire on Saturday as the Russian army said the rebels detonated yesterday's device by remote control. The separatists accused the Russians of violating the ceasefire with a helicopter gunship rocket strike against rebel forces in the south-west.
Although Russian leaders have hailed the accord as a way to peace and Chechen leaders have approved it, many ordinary people and soldiers view the latest moves as electioneering tied to Russia's presidential vote. Reuter - Grozny
