Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

HeadlineJun 16, 2023

As Secretary of State Tony Blinken makes his way to China to discuss the war in Ukraine and other issues, Russia has fired a fresh volley of missiles on Ukraine’s capital. Earlier today, explosions rang out across Kyiv, where Ukraine’s military claims it shot down six hypersonic missiles, six cruise missiles and two reconnaissance drones. The daytime attacks came as seven African heads of state, led by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, visited Kyiv in a bid to kickstart peace talks between Ukraine and Russia.
