Several prominent Swedish politicians, including the leaders of the Centre, Green, Left and Liberal parties, had said they would boycott the event over the Russian ambassador's presence.
I welcome the new decision of the board of the Nobel Foundation regarding the Nobel Prize award ceremony in Stockholm. The many and strong reactions show that the whole of Sweden unambiguously stand on Ukraine’s side against Russia’s appalling war of aggression.Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who had also disagreed with the Foundation's original announcement, welcomed the new decision in a statement on X.
In 2022, the Nobel Foundation, which organises the annual Nobel prize ceremony and banquet in Stockholm, decided not to invite the Russian and Belarusian ambassadors to the Stockholm award event because of the war in Ukraine. They made the same decision regarding the Iranian envoy over the country's crackdown on a wave of protests.
The decision to once again invite the Russian and Belarusian representatives sparked ire in Sweden and abroad. Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko wrote on Facebook that the foundation should support efforts to isolate Russia and Belarus as"millions of Ukrainians suffer from an unprovoked war and the Russian regime is not punished for its crimes"."We thank everyone who demanded the restoration of justice. We are convinced that a similar decision should be made regarding the Russian and Belarusian ambassadors to Oslo," he said in another post to Facebook.
