Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree for the "Order of Courage" to be given to a reporter from the Russia Today television channel who was wounded in Ukraine and two journalists from LifeNews who were detained in Ukraine.
The awards announced today will go to Fyodor Zavaleykov, who was wounded during shooting in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol on May 9, and to Oleg Sidyakin and Marat Saichenko who were detained near the eastern Ukrainian town of Kramatorsk on May 18.
All three journalists are now back in Russia.
Zavaleykov has undergone surgery twice since being wounded by a bullet.
Sidyakin and Saichenko were held on charges they were helping pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.
They were freed on May 25 and flew to Chechnya.

The priest, Pawel Witek, was reported missing yesterday.
Marcin Wojciechowski, a spokesman for Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski, said today on Twitter that the priest was "free, safe and sound" and under Polish diplomats' care.
Poland's consul-general in Donetsk worked to obtain his release.
No more details were immediately available.
Polish and Ukrainian media reports earlier said that the priest was believed to be at the Ukrainian SBU state security service building, which is occupied by the separatists in Donetsk.
