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.Most Russians are deeply suspicious of Western organisations such as NATO and the European Union and also distrust the United Nations, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by the independent ROMIR polling agency, found that 59.7 per cent of Russians do not trust the NATO, and only 5.7 per cent trust it "in a certain degree."
It also found that 55.2 per cent don't trust the United Nations, while 50 per cent don't trust the European Union.
The poll, which queried 1,500 people, did not give a margin of error.
Several events recently have made Russians more hostile toward the West, including NATO's bombing campaign in Yugoslavia and Western criticism of the war in breakaway Chechnya.
President Vladimir Putin has tapped into that anger, calling for Russia to take a harsher stance toward the West and strengthen its diminished status in the world.
