""Our compatriot, photojournalist Anthoni Lallican, accompanied the Ukrainian military to the resistance front," "It is with deep sadness that I learned about his death from a Russian drone strike." "I express my sincere condolences to his family, loved ones and all his colleagues who, risking their lives, inform us and testify to the reality of war,""
""Both journalists were wearing personal protective equipment, and their bulletproof vests had insignia -- the inscription "PRESS," the brigade said. "The enemy once again cynically violated the norms of international humanitarian law. This fact once again confirms the insidiousness and cruelty of the enemy army.""
"Lallican "died while doing his job, bearing witness to the consequences of war," RSF chief Thibaut Bruttin said in a statement."
Anthoni Lallican, a 37-year-old French photojournalist, was killed by a Russian drone while embedded with Ukrainian forces near the front line in the Donetsk region. Ukrainian photographer Hryhoriy Ivanchenko was injured in the same attack and remains in stable condition. Both journalists wore personal protective equipment and vests marked "PRESS," according to Ukraine's 4th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade, which accused the attacker of cynically violating international humanitarian law. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed condolences. The European and International Federations of Journalists called the killing a "war crime," and Reporters Without Borders demanded a swift investigation.
