AFP journalist Arman Soldin killed in Ukraine rocket attack.

French journalist Arman Soldin was killed by rocket fire in eastern Ukraine while covering the conflict. He was at least the 17th journalist killed in Ukraine since the war began. French President Emmanuel Macron praised Soldin's courage and dedication to informing the public. Soldin was known for his kind nature and had rescued a hedgehog from a shelling crater in the past weeks. The fighting in Bakhmut has been among the bloodiest since the war began, with heavy casualties on both sides.
