Nobel Peace Prize could sound alarm over Ukraine war or climate

Speculation for the Nobel Peace Prize centers on two major global issues: a critique of Russia's invasion of Ukraine or an urgent call to action on climate change.
Potential recipients related to the Ukraine conflict include Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, or groups documenting war crimes.
The committee might also award the prize to highlight climate change, considering activists like Greta Thunberg or organizations combating global heating.
Other dark horse candidates include human rights activists, anti-corruption groups, or the committee could opt not to award the prize this year, a rare occurrence.
