A Russian journalist is auctioning off one of the world’s highest honors to raise funds for Ukrainian children who have been displaced by the Russian invasion.
Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov will auction his Nobel Peace Prize medal Monday night, with all the proceeds going directly to UNICEF. Throughout the monthslong war in Ukraine, Muratov said he has become particularly concerned about children who have been orphaned, calling on the world to help.“It has to become a beginning of a flash mob as an example to follow so people auction their valuable possessions to help Ukrainians,” Muratov said in a video.
Bidding for the medal opened on June 1 and has since reached a high bid of $550,000 as of Monday morning, with auction organizers noting they expect it to climb even higher before the day is over. Muratov had announced in March that he would donate the $500,000 cash prize that accompanied his Nobel Peace Prize to the Ukrainian Refugee Fund.
