Dmitry Muratov, the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize co-winner and editor of a prominent independent Russian newspaper, auctioned his Nobel medal for an unprecedented $103.5 million.
All proceeds from the record-breaking sale are dedicated to UNICEF's humanitarian response for children displaced by the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Muratov's newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, suspended operations in Russia due to state pressure over its critical coverage of the Ukraine conflict, underscoring the challenges faced by independent media.
The auction significantly surpassed all previous Nobel medal sales, highlighting a powerful global effort to support Ukrainian refugees.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
