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.

Sir: Your front-page story about Michel Roux cooking in the Kremlin ('Kremlin chefs row with Roux at Yeltsin's banquet', 15 April) quoted him as saying it was the first time since the Tsars that a chef outside the country had worked in the Kremlin.

In around 1987, John Folse, chief proprietor of Lafitte's Landing in Louisiana, cooked up a cajun storm in the kitchens of the Kremlin (having previously taken his cooking pots to the Great Wall of China). He subsequently hosted a tour of the US by a group of Soviet chefs.

Yours faithfully,
