A Russian journalist is auctioning off his Nobel Peace Prize medal to raise funds for Ukrainian refugees

The gold medal that the Russian journalist received for winning the peace prize is going up for auction.

The editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta was Muratov. He won the prize for his efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace.

In March, Muratov promised to donate the medal to Ukrainian refugees after calling for an auction house to help him put the item up for sale.

The medal will be sold at an auction in New York on June 20.

One successful bidder will walk away from the auction with a gold medal. He wants everyone to donate what they can to the charity.

The proceeds from the sale of the medal will go to help the children who have been displaced by the war.

The goal is to use this event to foster awareness of refugee crises and for the giving to continue long after the auction on June 20th.

The New York Times reported that the $500,000 in prize money awarded to Muratov would be given to several charities.

According to The Times, the auction was an act of solidarity with the people of Ukraine in the wake of Russia's invasion of the country. He said that he was inspired by Neils Bohr, who put his medal for the prize in physics up for auction to raise money for the war against the Soviets in 1939.

We need to end it because we have World War III if we look at the number of refugees.
