Arman Soldin: Journalist killed in Ukraine given France's highest honour
France has posthumously awarded its highest honour to an AFP video journalist killed in Ukraine.
French President Emmanuel Macron hailed Soldin's "bravery" in a letter sent to the Agence France-Presse news agency. "Arman Soldin embodied your editorial staff's passion - a passion to convey the truth, tell stories and gather testimonies. It was a passion for a cause: the duty to inform," he said. As an infant, he fled fighting in Bosnia with his family, taking a humanitarian flight to France in April 1992, according to AFP.
