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.

WASHINGTON (Reuter) - The US Defense Secretary, William Perry, urged the Russian Defence Minister, Pavel Grachev, to press his government not to cancel US-Russian military manoeuvres planned for July.

Mr Perry telephoned Mr Grachev to discuss Bosnia, but brought up the peace- keeping exercise after President Boris Yeltsin, bowing to nationalist pressure, hinted he might call off the manoeuvres.

The exercise is scheduled for some time in July in the Volga district involving 250 troops each.
