The RT channel established the Khaled Alkhateb International Memorial Awards in memory of the 25-year-old journalist Khaled al-Khatib, who collaborated with RT Arabic.
He was killed in a rocket attack by militants in the Syrian province of Homs in 2017.
In his reports, Khaled covered the battles between Syrian government forces and terrorists.
In 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree posthumously awarding Khaled al-Khatib the Medal for Courage, which was presented to his family at the first award ceremony.
