Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – Friends and colleagues of Arman Soldin, the AFP journalist killed last week in east Ukraine, gather in Kyiv to commemorate his empathy, spirit and dedication to journalism. “He represented the very best of AFP” says the agency’s Global News Director, Phil Chetwynd. Soldin died when an AFP team came under fire by Grad rockets while they were with a group of Ukrainian soldiers near Bakhmut, the epicentre of the fighting for months.
