Nobel Peace Prize 2025: Not Trump, this Russian woman may get the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025

Nobel Peace Prize 2025: Discussions are in full swing around the world regarding the Nobel Peace Prize for the year 2025. This time the name of US President Donald Trump is in the headlines, who has been supported by Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir for the Nobel Peace Prize. On Monday night, Netanyahu described Trump as the most suitable for this award, while Munir also lobbied for Trump's name. Meanwhile, a recent report by the American magazine Newsweek has brought a new twist to this race, in which Yulia Navalnaya, wife of Russia's late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, is being preferred over Trump.

Yulia Navalnaya is the first choice of bookmakers

According to the Newsweek report, figures from betting website Oddschecker show that Yulia Navalnaya is leading the race for the Nobel Peace Prize. Bookmakers have given Trump odds of 17/2 (10.5%) and 6/1 (14.3%), which is mediocre. On this basis, Trump is in second place in this race. Yulia's claim is considered strong for two major reasons:

Struggle against Putin: After the death of Alexei Navalny, Yulia has consistently raised her voice against the dictatorship of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Non-constitutional position: Unlike Trump, Yulia does not hold any top constitutional post, which makes her a neutral and inspirational candidate for this award.

Other contenders

The report mentions two other prominent names apart from Yulia and Trump:

Antonio Guterres: Secretary-General of the United Nations, who is known for global peace efforts.

Philippe Lazzarini: Head of the United Nations Palestine Aid Agency (UNRWA), who is in the news for humanitarian work in the Palestinian territories.

Yulia Navalnaya: A Look

Yulia Navalnaya was born in Moscow, Russia in 1976. She earned a bachelor's degree in economics from a Russian university and later worked in a bank. In 1998, while vacationing in Turkey, she met Russia's famous lawyer and opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The two got married in 2000 and have two children. Currently, Yulia lives in Britain.

After Alexei's murder, Yulia made serious allegations against Putin and started a campaign for democratic change in Russia. She announced that she would one day become the President of Russia. Under this mission, she is maintaining her activism in Russia.

Nobel Peace Prize Process

The nomination process for the Nobel Peace Prize is based on strict criteria. After nomination, the Nobel Committee reviews all the applications and then announces the winner. The Nobel Peace Prize is expected to be announced in October this year.

Trump's entry increases the buzz

Donald Trump's name joining the race has further intensified the global discussion. The support of leaders of countries like Israel and Pakistan strengthens Trump's claim, but bookmakers and analysts are more inclined towards Yulia. It will be interesting to see who the Nobel Committee chooses this year and whether Trump or Yulia will be able to create history.
