Messages of grief poured in Wednesday following the death of AFP journalist Arman Soldin in Ukraine, paying tribute to his bravery in covering Europe's worst conflict since World War II. | ManilaBulletin
He was killed 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.
"Arman was a talented and courageous journalist and his death is obviously devastating for those who knew him," said UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's spokesman. Pavlo Kyrylenko, the head of the Donetsk region where Bakhmut lies and which has been partially controlled by Kremlin-backed forces for years, offered his condolences to Soldin's friends and family.
The Bosnian member of the country's tripartite presidency, Denis Becirovic, condemned Soldin's killing, describing his death as a "great loss" and a "painful reminder" of the risks undertaken by frontline journalists. "He's someone who understood the risks but really wanted to tell the story, in particular the human story of what was happening on the ground in Ukraine," he added."It was the commitment to that story that took him back to the front again and again and again."
