Vichy: French authorities on Wednesday unveiled an esplanade in the central city of Vichy named after Arman Soldin, an AFP journalist killed in Ukraine in 2023 while covering the conflict.
"There are men whose light never goes out, and Arman Soldin was one of them," Vichy's Mayor Frederic Aguilera said during the ceremony that was attended by Soldin's mother, brother and sister.
Soldin, AFP's video coordinator in Ukraine, was killed in a rocket attack near the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakmut on May 9, 2023, more than a year after the Russian invasion began. He was 32.
He was reporting in Chasiv Yar, near the front line in the eastern region of Donetsk, alongside Ukrainian soldiers.
The city of Vichy is the birthplace of one of the most famous French journalists, Albert Londres, and hosts a school that offers journalism studies.
