an appropriate recipient for the Nobel? There are hundreds of thousands dead.

It would be just as weird as giving it to that RW Venezuelan lady.

Did the Norwegian Nobel Committee nominate him or was it okieblue54.bsky.social?

By successfully resisting Russian control of Ukraine, he’s saving hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives which would be lost if Russia had control and would engage in violent reprisals as Russia does with conquered countries.

Of course, they’re fighting back but Ukraine has not invaded any neighbors doing so. This is a worthy nomination and I hope he receives one. 🇺🇦

X in Russian or Ukrainian is an unvoiced velar fricative sound, like the ch Ich or ach in German. Z is pronounced like an initial Z in English.

Easy typo mistake to make, though.
