“What you are doing is extremely important for our state and society, for each of us.
You tell the truth about war and heroism.
About our warriors fighting the enemy.
About volunteers who help the army,” Medvedev wrote to reporters.
He added that journalists "risk their lives and health" for this truth.
“Thank you for that,” the official said.
In November, the military correspondent of the publication "Komsomolskaya Pravda" Alexander Kots was included in the Human Rights Council.
Also, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded war correspondent and head of the WarGonzo project Semyon Pegov with the Order of Courage.
In October, Pegov was wounded in the leg near Donetsk.
