Russian journalist will auction his Nobel peace medal for Ukrainian refugees
CNN
The Russian journalist who won last year's Nobel Peace Prize says he will auction off his medal to support Ukrainian refugees.
Novaya Gazeta editor Dmitry Muratov 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 Tuesday on the newspaper's website.
Muratov shared the 2021 Nobel with Filipino American journalist Maria Ressa for what judges described as their "efforts to safeguard freedom of expression."
