Volodimir Zelensky nominated for the Nobel Prize

Some members of the European Parliament, and the government of various European countries, asked the Nobel Committee to consider the nomination of the President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, and the people of his country, for the Nobel Peace Prize.

"Brave Ukrainian men and women are fighting to preserve democracy and self-government. From the defiance of democratically elected Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky to the tearful man saying goodbye to his family to fight for his country, people across Ukraine are rising up to resist the forces of authoritarianism," they write up.
