Moscow denounces Zelensky proposal on backing Trump’s Nobel for Tomahawks
The proposal, reported by Politico, reportedly emerged during a meeting Zelensky held with journalists on Thursday. He suggested that Trump could be nominated for the award if Ukraine received the long-range US missiles and the arrangement contributed to a ceasefire with Russia. A resolution supporting Trump’s nomination failed to pass in the Ukrainian parliament earlier this week.
Ushakov, Putin’s top foreign policy adviser, said, “The idea of a ‘peace prize in exchange for weapons’ sounds monstrous. It says a lot about the person who came up with it.”
When asked if Russia would support a potential Nobel Prize for Trump, Ushakov replied it likely would “at this point, if requested.”
Zelensky’s renewed requests for Tomahawk missiles were initially submitted to then-President Joe Biden, amid European NATO efforts to persuade Trump to continue US support for Ukraine. Moscow has argued that Western-supplied arms will not change the conflict’s course, while President Vladimir Putin warned that providing nuclear-capable Tomahawks would constitute a serious escalation.
