Russia and Belarus uninvited to Nobel prize ceremonies

The Nobel Foundation has banned Russian and Belarusian envoys, along with those from Iran, from attending the Nobel prize ceremonies, which will take place in Stockholm, Sweden on 10 December. The decision came on 2 September, just two days after the foundation announced that it had reversed course from its decision last year to exclude representatives from Russia and Belarus from the festivities because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Belarus’s involvement in enabling that war.
