Ukrainian MPs propose to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize: what is known
On 29 September 2025, a group of MPs of the IX convocation registered a draft resolution in the Verkhovna Rada proposing to ask the Nobel Committee to consider Donald Trump's candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Details of the draft resolution
The draft resolution does not envisage any changes to the current legislation - it is parliamentary address to the Nobel Committee.
The initiators note that the purpose of the appeal is to assess Donald Trump's contribution to international processes and the peaceful settlement of conflicts. However, the text of the resolution does not detail any specific grounds or arguments.
The entire initiative is currently under consideration by the Verkhovna Rada leadership - the vote has not yet taken place.
The draft resolution has a registration number 14088 and is available in the draft law card on the VRU website.
Context and comments
This step looks like a political gesture: the parliamentary appeal is symbolic, and the Nobel Committee's decision does not necessarily directly respond to such appeals from national parliaments.
It is not yet known whether there have been any preliminary communications with the International Nobel Committee regarding this initiative.
Such a proposal may trigger public debate: on the one hand, about the expediency of nominating a politician, and on the other, about the strategic motives for such an appeal.
Possible further scenarios
Adoption of the resolution by the Parliament. If the Verkhovna Rada votes in favour, the appeal will become an official document recommending that the committee consider Trump's nomination.
Refusal or rejection. If the majority of deputies do not support the resolution, the initiative will remain at the draft level.
The reaction of the Nobel Committee. Even if the appeal is official, there is no guarantee that the committee will accept it or take it into account as a valid argument.
