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.

WARSAW (Reuter) - Poland's parliament voted in a new seven- party coalition government yesterday, ending more than a month of deadlock among divided political groups. Deputies voted by 226 to 124 with 28 abstentions for a cabinet led by Hanna Suchocka, a lawyer who became Prime Minister on Friday. Most of the economic posts in the new cabinet have gone to two parties which led the radical market reform programme Poland pioneered in 1990.

In Ukraine, President Leonid Kravchuk sacked the leading economic reformer, Vladimir Lanovoy, as head of Ukraine's economic reform programme. He named Valentin Simonenko, a former career Communist Party official, as first deputy prime minister with responsibility for the economy.
