France has posthumously awarded its highest honor to an AFP video journalist killed in Ukraine.
Arman Soldin 32 years old who died in a rocket attack close to Bakhmut in May, was made a knight of the Legion of Honour.
French President Emmanuel Macron hailed Soldin’s “bravery” in a letter sent to the Agence France-Presse news agency.
Soldin is one of at least 17, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, journalists killed in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion.
