France News Agency video coordinator in Ukraine Arman Soldin was killed Tuesday afternoon in a Russian rocket attack in eastern Ukraine. The journalist worked to film the military battle and the destruction caused, despite the violence.

With tenacity, curiosity but also a contagious good humor, the AFP video coordinator had been trying since the first days to tell this war that resonated with his personal story. "He was brave, creative and tenacious," AFP news director Phil Chetwynd said of the 32-year-old.
