Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Modi in Ukraine After Visiting Moscow; Putin Accuses Ukraine of Attacking Nuclear Plant in Kursk

HeadlineAug 23, 2024

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Ukraine for talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky, just weeks after Modi met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Modi has called on both parties to “return to peace” as he attempts to push a diplomatic resolution to Russia’s invasion.

This comes amid reports of intense fighting in the eastern Ukrainian town of New York. Putin has accused Ukraine of trying to attack a nuclear plant in Kursk, where Ukrainian forces have been making major advances following its surprise incursion earlier this month.

President Vladimir Putin: “The enemy tried to strike at the Kursk nuclear power station last night. The International Atomic Energy Agency has been informed. They promise to come themselves, to send specialists to assess the situation. I hope that, in the end, this will be done on their part.”

U.N. nuclear agents will visit Russia’s Kursk plant next week.
