Ukrainian lawmaker and Zelensky’s party member Oleksandr Merezhko said he plans to nominate newly-elected US president Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize. Merezhko who chairs the parliamentary foreign affairs committee, said he is eligible to come up with nominations as he is a  law professor and parliamentary deputy.

Merezhko praised Trump’s diplomatic achievements during his first term as U.S. president, particularly the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations.

“These agreements strengthened peace in the Middle East and contributed to regional stability. This is a significant diplomatic accomplishment by Donald Trump,” said the lawmaker.

He also credited Trump for his contributions to aiding Ukraine in the face of Russia’s aggression. Merezhko reminded that Trump was the first U.S. president to provide Ukraine with military aid, including Javelin anti-tank missile systems, and opposed the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Looking ahead, Merezhko expressed hope that any peace initiatives Trump undertakes in Europe will follow international law and respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

“Based on Trump’s statements, he appears to have plans for achieving peace in Europe. While his specific proposals are still unknown, I trust they will not involve appeasement of the aggressor at Ukraine’s expense but will focus on a just peace grounded in international law,” he added.
