The Hunt: The late Arman Soldin’s voice

By J.J. Green

Ukrainians and many others call Russia a terrorist state because of the brutal war that’s killed thousands of innocent people.

One of the people who covered that war is now a victim. Arman Soldin, a journalist for Agence France-Presse, was killed Tuesday during a rocket attack near the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. The French government said it has opened a war crimes investigation into his death.
