October 14, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka advised US President Donald Trump not to worry about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize this year, according to his press office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at a conference with officials on Monday, \u0141uka\u0161enka claimed that Nobel officials had \u201cpromised\u201d Trump he would receive the award next year \u2014 though he did not specify who made that promise or where the information came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian ruler went on to criticize the Nobel Committee as a \u201cpoliticized structure\u201d and called its laureates \u201crenegades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI sometimes think that if one of you or I were offered this award, I would certainly turn it down. Because we know what contribution our activists have made to world peace. They haven\u2019t done anything. On the contrary, they have contributed to this so-called war and are pushing Belarus into it,\u201d said \u0141uka\u0161enka, a vocal supporter of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s comments referred to Belarusian Nobel laureates \u2014 writer \u015aviat\u0142ana Aleksijevi\u010d (Svetlana Alexievich) and human rights defender Ale\u015b Bialacki, who is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence in Belarus after being convicted on charges widely regarded as politically motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also criticized the Nobel Committee\u2019s decision to award this year\u2019s Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition politician Mar\u00eda Corina Machado, claiming that \u201cshe fought for the destruction of Venezuela.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf a prize has been promised to Donald Trump next year, then we can count on him to pursue a policy of peace \u2014 at least until he receives the Nobel Prize. But he will receive it for sure. I emphasize once again that we should not congratulate him because of our attitude toward the Nobel Prize,\u201d \u0141uka\u0161enka said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, he did not clarify who had allegedly promised Trump the prize in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
