A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn it, as peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow slip under the radar and the president keeps his sights fixed on the Middle East.
Oleksandr Merezhko, the head of Ukraine's parliamentary foreign committee, told Newsweek on Tuesday he had "lost any sort of faith and belief" in Trump and his ability to secure a ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv.
Merezhko originally nominated Trump for the prize in November, but said he submitted his nomination withdrawal on Monday morning.
Trump returned to the White House in January pledging to end Europe's largest land conflict since World War II in just 24 hours. But as the weeks and months dragged on, optimism for a quick deal evaporated and the Republican—a self-styled "peacemaker-in-chief"—grew overtly frustrated with the glacial pace of progress.
Trump, who touched down in The Hague, Netherlands, on Tuesday for NATO's largest summit of the year, landed in the wake of announcing a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. "PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!," he added in a post to his Truth Social platform.
Iran denied breaking the fragile agreement as Israel's defense minister, Israel Katz, ordered the Israeli military to "respond forcefully to Iran's violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran."
Ukrainian officials are concerned about U.S. attention and weapons being diverted to the Middle East, not to mention the impact on the oil markets, Merezhko said.
A spike in oil prices because of fighting in the Middle East could benefit Russia, something Ukraine will be keen to avoid. The European Union will not continue with plans to press on Russia a new price cap on oil exports while fears swirl over soaring oil prices, Politico reported on Friday.

I hate Biden but on, let's say, October 6, 2023, he'd have been more deserving of it than any president in my lifetime, for bringing an end to the longest war in American history and massively scaling down the drone program. Unfortunately, he **** the bad massively on that front from that day forward.

Biden's, and his family's, involvement in making sure the Burevestnik program got up and running is invaluable to the concept of peace for decades

Nobel Peace Prize doesn't mean ****. They gave it to Obama for no reason at all except he said he likes peace. I like college football, does that mean I deserve the Heisman? Then Trump got snubbed after brokering the historic Abraham Accords. The award is a joke, it's political, like everything else.

I agree. It lost any significance once Henry Kissinger won it. But Trump and his minions have been whining that he deserves one for years, so I thought it was kinda funny that he missed out again.

Me: Nobel Peace Prize doesn't mean ****.
You: why does it have such meaning to you?
See what I deal with on here?
