The article discusses speculation surrounding the announcement of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, which is set to be revealed later that day by Norwegian Nobel Committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes at 10am UK time (11am CEST). Notable contenders include Mykola Kuleba and Save Ukraine for their work in rescuing Ukrainian children abducted during the war, Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms, and recently, Yulia Navalnaya, wife of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

Story summary
The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner will soon be announced, continuing a tradition established by Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel in his 1895 will. Last year's prize was awarded to Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado for her efforts against authoritarian rule in Venezuela. Notably, she later presented the award to former U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House, following an event where Trump had ordered the attempted abduction of Venezuela’s president Nicolás Maduro. Nobel's will stipulates that prize recipients must have significantly benefited humankind during the preceding year.

In his 1895 will, Swedish chemist and inventor Alfred Nobel wrote:
“All of my remaining realisable assets are to be disbursed as follows: the capital, converted to safe securities by my executors, is to constitute a fund, the interest on which is to be distributed annually as prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.
asserted
who → write → humankind
The interest is to be divided into five equal parts and distributed as follows: one part to the person who made the most important discovery or invention in the field of physics; one part to the person who made the most important chemical discovery or improvement; one part to the person who made the most important discovery within the domain of physiology or medicine; one part to the person who, in the field of literature, produced the most outstanding work in an ideal direction; and one part to the person who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the establishment and promotion of peace congresses.
asserted
who → divide → congresses
The prizes for physics and chemistry are to be awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences; that for physiological or medical achievements by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in Stockholm; and that for champions of peace by a committee of five persons to be selected by the Norwegian Storting.
asserted
prizes → award → Storting
It is my express wish that when awarding the prizes, no consideration be given to nationality, but that the prize be awarded to the worthiest person, whether or not they are Scandinavian.”
And here we are, 125 years later!
The prize money this year is 12 million Swedish kronor, which is about €1.1m or £910,000.
