Heartbreaking to watch when you know our AFP colleague who shot all these videos is now dead. But also makes me proud to be part of the same news agency and profession. Arman Soldin represents the best of us and will be someone to look up to for many more journalists to come.
AFP News Agency@AFP

Arman Soldin was part of the first team to enter Ukraine following Russia's invasion. He spent months telling the story of a country at war and the life of its inhabitants. Soldin was killed last week by rocket fire in eastern Ukraine. He was 32. Here is a tribute to his exceptional work

Arman, C'est toi sur cette table de métal froid. Oui je vais commencer par le pire. Je vais commencer par ce que c'est aussi que cette horreur de guerre en Ukraine. Car je crois que personne d'autre que toi ne le savait mieux, le corps et l'âme dedans, au quotidien.

There's a lot of pain in @AFP's London office, where Arman worked for years before going to Ukraine, and made many dear friends. I've been looking through his remarkable output since war began: 200+ videos from Ukraine w/ his byline. Incredible commitment; he was the real deal.

"His death is a terrible reminder of the risks and dangers faced by journalists every day covering the conflict in Ukraine." -- @AFP chairman Fabrice Fries, on the death of Arman Soldin Full story: u.afp.com/iLtR

Our hearts go out to the family of journalist Arman Soldin, who lost his life today reporting from the front lines of the war in Ukraine, and to Arman’s colleagues at the AFP. Journalism is fundamental to a free society. The world is indebted to Arman and to the 10 other reporters and media workers who have lost their lives while shining a light on the horrors of Russia’s invasion.

Heartbroken by the loss of my AFP and Canal+ colleague @ArmanSoldin. He was funny, fearless and absurdly versatile, as at home on the front line as he was on a Premier League touchline. Please take the time to visit his timeline. He was doing incredibly brave reporting in Ukraine
AFP News Agency@AFP

We are devastated to learn of the death of AFP video journalist Arman Soldin in eastern Ukraine today. All of our thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.

Arman was the kind of guy who saved hurt hedgehogs in war zones. He was an incredible and vibrant personality and a great journalist. We miss him. We are mourning him. Rest in peace

Dans la voiture, pour notre premier départ sur le front en avril 2022, tu avais chanté à tue-tête par-dessus la radio militaire "Forever Young. I wanna be forever young". Tu avais 32 ans.
