In an effort to help, Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov, the co-winner of last year’s Nobel Peace Prize, has offered to auction off his Nobel Peace Prize medal to raise money for the Ukrainian evacuees. Muratov’s noble gesture Dmitry Muratov, the editor of Novaya Gazeta newspaper, said he was compelled to sell his medal by the sight of “wounded and sick children” requiring “urgent treatment” following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a statement published on Tuesday on the newspaper’s website. Standing independent in Russia Muratov’s Novaya Gazeta is one of the last remaining Russian outlets critical of the Kremlin and has denounced the war on Ukraine. The editor won last year’s Nobel Peace Prize jointly with Maria Ressa of the Philippines, co-founder of news site Rappler, for their efforts “to safeguard freedom of expression”.
