Ukraine war: Odesa and Melitopol under attack

Ukraine war: Odesa and Melitopol under attack

The Ukrainian army said it shot down 10 drones on Saturday but another five had hit energy facilities, leaving some 1.5 million people without power.

The Peace Prize is awarded annually on December 10, the day Alfred Nobel died in 1896, and the recipients will share the prize which is worth nearly $1m. Al Jazeera talked to Natallia Pinchuk, Bialiatski’s wife, who attended the ceremony on behalf of her jailed husband. “Ales and we all realise how important and risky it is to fulfil the mission of civil rights defender...
