Letter: Call Russian bluff

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.

Sir: We must stop kow-towing to Russia and call Moscow's bluff over its continued support for the fascist regime in Belgrade.

All through the killing fields of Bosnia and now Kosovo Russia has sought to prevent the international community from taking the decisive action necessary to save lives and bring about peace.

The other members of the UN Security Council, the EU and Nato should ignore Russian threats of veto and "dire consequences" as nothing more than the blether of a former superpower turned basket-case whose Balkan "policy" has descended into Slav-nationalist paranoia.
