  "account": "Norwegian professor Dag Øistein Endsjø, who nominated Ukraine and President Zelenskyy for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, candidly discusses Europe's inadequate support for Ukraine and how the war has affected his homeland. Despite Europe's financial gains from the war, Endsjø expresses regret over his government's inaction. He firmly believes Ukraine deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for defending itself against Russian aggression, which he warns could spread to NATO countries. If Ukraine were to surrender, he asserts, the threat to Europe would only intensify. Endsjø dismisses the notion that Russia might use nuclear weapons, stating they would have done so already if it were a viable option. He dismisses Putin's proposal for a ceasefire in exchange for giving up Donbas as appeasement, likening it to historical examples like appeasement in 1938.",
  "summary": "He explains why he thinks US President Donald Trump won't win the Nobel Peace Prize this year, and why Ukraine should.",
