STOCKHOLM (AP) — The ambassadors of Russia and Belarus have been barred from this year’s Nobel Prize rite in Stockholm because of the war in Ukraine.
The Nobel Foundation, a personal base that administers the prestigious prizes, invites Sweden-founded ambassadors to the annual rite of awards on Dec. 10.
“But because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Nobel Foundation decided not to invite the ambassadors of Russia and Belarus to the Nobel Prize rite in Stockholm,” he said Tuesday.

The base also said it would continue its practice of inviting leaders of all parties to the Swedish parliament, for the Sweden Democrats who are anti-immigration.
The group, which has sought to distance itself from its far-right roots, won more than 20 percent of the vote in Sweden’s Sept. 11 election to become the country’s second-largest political party and close partner of the new center-right government.
The Nobel Foundation said it saw no explanation for why oppose its earlier resolution to exclude Sweden’s democrats, noting that Nobel laureates “are based on respect for science, culture, humanism and internationalism. “
The Nobel Prizes are awarded on December 10, the anniversary of the death of the founder of the Alfred Nobel Prize in 1896.
