The Russian editor-in-chief of a Russian newspaper has sold his Nobel Peace Prize for over $100 million

Dmitry Muratov is the editor-in-chief of the Novaya Gazeta newspaper, who sold his medal.

All of the proceeds from the prize will go to UNICEF’s Humanitarian Response for Ukrainian Children Displaced by War.

“I was hoping that there was going to be an enormous amount of solidarity. But I was not expecting this to be such a huge amount,” Muratov says.

Muratov won the prize in 2021 alongside journalist Maria Ressa, with the committee honouring them “for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression”.

He says he wants the sale to be the “beginning of a flashmob”, where other people auction their valuable possessions to help people in the war-torn country.

European leaders recently visited the war-torn country in a sign of solidarity. In the besieged city of Mariupol, officials have reported over 21,000 civilian dead.

Senior U.S. envoys are preparing to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin as diplomatic efforts around the war in Ukraine gather pace. The visit comes after Russia formally requested high-level talks, signalling a potential shift in momentum.

Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to travel to Moscow following months of behind-the-scenes discussions. The move underscores Washington’s willingness to engage directly as negotiations enter a more decisive phase.

With global attention fixed on the outcome, the meeting could shape the next chapter of the conflict — and determine whether diplomacy can finally overtake military escalation.
