Russia's aide to the President, Yuri Ushakov, expressed that Russia could support awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Donald Trump if requested. However, Ushakov strongly opposed the idea of granting the prize for weapons supply, particularly in response to a mention by Zelensky of nominating Trump for providing Tomahawk missiles.

The Kremlin representative criticized the notion of awarding a peace prize for arms provision, calling it "monstrous" and labeling such a concept as foolish. This stance reflects a broader trend where proposals for the Nobel Peace Prize based on political actions, such as mediating peace talks, have faced scrutiny for their perceived political motivations and implications.
