🏅 Uzbek Man Awarded Jasorat Medal for Saving Child in St Petersburg 🇺🇿 President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has awarded the Jasorat medal to Khayrullo Ibadullaev for rescuing a child who fell from a high-rise building in St Petersburg. The decree honours his courage, heroism and selflessness in saving the boy’s life. 🚨 Ibadullaev, a street cleaner from Uzbekistan, caught a six-year-old boy who fell from a seventh-floor window after hearing a neighbour’s cries for help. He cushioned the impact with his own body. The child’s mother was at home in another room and no window safety locks had been installed. 🎖 The Jasorat medal is presented for acts of bravery, dedication and outstanding human qualities. 💬 In addition to the state award, Ibadullaev received the Tigran Keosayan Prize, established by Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya international media group and RT television channel. The prize includes one million roubles. ❤️ In a message published on Simonyan’s Telegram channel, Ibadullaev said he had sent the prize money to Uzbekistan to support his ill father. “The money, thank you, I have received it and sent it to Uzbekistan. My father is ill and I have four daughters. Thank you very much. I did not expect this at all,” he said. #News
