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.

RUSSIAN TROOPS: About 150,000 former Soviet military personnel remain stationed outside the borders of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Baroness Chalker, Minister for Overseas Development, told Lord Hylton.

It was estimated that there were about 97,000 in Germany; 42,000 in the Baltic states; 9,000 in Moldova; fewer than 4,000 in Poland; fewer than 1,000 in Cuba and several hundred in Vietnam. Russian ground forces were expected to be withdrawn from Cuba by mid-1993.
