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.

Watch Kamala Harris deliver her remarks at the Munich Security Conference in Germany.

Harris declared that the United States has “formally determined” that Russia has committed crimes against humanity.

The US vice president spoke of the "unprovoked" and "horrendous" war in Ukraine.

"Let us renew our commitment to accountability," she urged.

She is one of the heads of government and state who will gather in Germany in the coming days to discuss geopolitical issues.

This year’s conference comes one year on from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

It also comes just days after the US shot down a number of aerial objects over North American airspace.

Rishi Sunak is also expected to speak at the conference on Saturday shortly after Harris.

He is also anticipated to address the war in Ukraine, calling for more resources from the West.
