Key Details of the Nomination

The Nominator: The joint nomination was officially submitted by Dr. Dag Øistein Endsjø, a professor of religious studies at the University of Oslo, Norway. Under official Nobel guidelines, university professors hold the formal right to submit candidates.
The Core Motivation: The application states that by fiercely defending their democratic values against Russian aggression since 2014—and during the full-scale invasion since 2022—the citizens and their president have actively helped safeguard peace and stability across Europe.
Dual Recognition: The submission intentionally targets two distinct layers: the state leadership under President Zelenskyy and the resilient general public standing against occupation and repression. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Context and Next Steps

Stiff Competition: The Norwegian Nobel Committee logged a total of 287 candidates for the 2026 prize. Other public figures revealed by their nominators include Donald Trump, Yulia Navalnaya, and Greta Thunberg.
Strict Confidentiality: The Nobel Committee keeps the official list of nominations sealed for 50 years. Nominee names only reach the media if the qualified nominators choose to share their applications publicly.
Important Dates: The committee is currently evaluating all submissions with international experts. The official 2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate will be announced on October 9, 2026, followed by the ceremony in Oslo on December 10, 2026. [6, 7, 8, 9]
