Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on the recent decisions of the Nobel Prize Committee. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
He emphasized that the committee's prestige has significantly declined. According to Putin, in recent years the Nobel Committee has awarded the "Peace Prize" to individuals who have not engaged in practical work for peace, thereby diminishing the value of the prize.
At a press conference in Dushanbe, Putin acknowledged the activities of U.S. President Donald Trump. He stated that it is necessary to recognize Trump's considerable efforts in resolving complex crises.
Putin highlighted that Trump has introduced a number of initiatives to strengthen peace and has been actively working on the international stage. He is striving to stop wars and achieve stability through agreements.
On Friday, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was announced as the Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Donald Trump described this decision as unusual and called himself worthy of the award as a leader who stopped seven wars.
This week, Trump announced that under the "Trump Plan," an agreement was reached to ceasefire between HAMAS and Israel and to release hostages. Earlier, White House Press Secretary Steven Chang called the Nobel Committee's decision "politically motivated" and expressed support for Trump's peace efforts.
Although Trump has not yet commented on the award being given to Machado, he has repeatedly stated that "taking the award from me and giving it to others is an insult to America." Putin's statement has attracted significant attention internationally.
Some analysts view his remarks as a new phase of Western criticism, while others see in them a sign of rapprochement with Trump. This situation indicates a possible shift in international political relations.
