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

Member of Reuters Team Killed in Russian Attack on Ukrainian Hotel

HeadlineAug 26, 2024

In the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, a safety adviser working for the Reuters news agency was killed and four Reuters journalists were injured in a Russian strike on their hotel on Saturday. Ryan Evans was a 38-year-old British citizen. In a statement, Reuters said, “Ryan has helped so many of our journalists cover events around the world; we will miss him terribly.” The injured journalists are reportedly from Ukraine, the U.S., Latvia, and Germany. Two of them were hospitalized.

Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv Friday. Modi called for peace talks to end the war.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi: “No conflict can be resolved on the battlefield. The road to resolution can only be found through dialogue and diplomacy. And we should move in that direction without wasting any time. Both sides should sit together to find ways to end this crisis.”
