President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday questioned the decision to award a Nobel Peace Prize to Russia’s Dmitry Muratov, chief editor of top independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta that this week lost its print licence.
Dmitry Muratov, the Russian editor-in-chief of the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, on Monday auctioned off his Nobel Peace Prize gold medal for a whopping $103.5 million to benefit children displaced by the war in Ukraine.
President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Russian newspaper editor Dmitry Muratov would not “shield” him from being branded a “foreign agent” if he breaks the law.
