In Ukraine, French journalist Arman Soldin was killed in a rocket attack Tuesday in Chasiv Yar near the war-torn eastern city of Bakhmut. The 32-year-old worked for the AFP news agency. The Committee to Protect Journalists says he is the 15th journalist to be killed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last February.
In more news about the war, the head of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group said President Putin’s troops have started to abandon their positions in Bakhmut. This comes as Britain is poised to designate Wagner as a terrorist group. France’s National Assembly approved a similar measure Tuesday and urged the EU to follow suit.
