Russia would welcome the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Donald Trump, Kremlin Aide Yury Ushakov said prior to the announcement that Venezuelan opposition figure Marina Corina Machado had received the award.
“I think, yes, we would support the decision, if we were asked,” the diplomat told Yunashev Live channel on Telegram.
At the same time, Ushakov said he was surprised at what he called the stupidity of Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy “who could lobby for a Nobel Prize for Trump” if the U.S. leader supplies Tomahawk missiles to Kiev.
“That would mean a peace prize for sending weapons. The very idea is ludicrous. How people think reveals what their personality is,” the Russian presidential aide concluded.
