📰 Russia Backs Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize Dreams 🇷🇺🏆

TL;DR:Just hours before the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize announcement, Russia publicly endorsed Donald Trump for the honour, claiming his foreign policy “prevented major wars.” 🎯 The move drew global attention — and criticism — for politicising the Nobel stage.

What Happened?

  • Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson praised Trump’s “efforts to de-escalate global tensions,” especially during his talks with North Korea and NATO negotiations.

  • State media in Moscow ran segments calling him “the only Western leader who pursued peace, not dominance.”

  • The endorsement comes amid Trump’s renewed push for recognition after repeatedly claiming he deserved the Nobel in past years. 🗣️

Flashback / Context

  • Trump has long sought the Nobel for his 2020 Abraham Accords and diplomacy with Kim Jong Un, though critics say his policies often inflamed tensions instead.

  • Russia’s backing is widely seen as symbolic political theatre — a subtle dig at the West and the Nobel Committee.

  • The Nobel Prize committee has traditionally avoided political lobbying but remains under increasing scrutiny for its global influence.

Who Gains & Who Loses?

  • Gains: Trump — global media buzz ahead of the Nobel announcement.

  • Gains: Russia — using the moment to troll Western institutions.

  • Losses: The Nobel Committee’s credibility, caught between geopolitics and genuine peace efforts.

People’s Angle

For common viewers worldwide, it’s a bizarre mix of diplomacy and drama — proof that even peace prizes aren’t safe from global PR wars. 🌍

MediaFx Take

Peace needs patience, not PR. 🕊️ Russia’s move exposes how moral awards often become tools of soft power — where recognition sometimes shouts louder than real peace.
