Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov will auction off his Nobel Peace Prize on Monday to help displaced Ukrainian children.

Muratov, 60, will also donate the full 500,000 cash award from his Nobel Peace Prize to the cause. The auction will begin at 7 p.m. ET on the Heritage Auctions website.

“We want to return their future,” Muratov told the Associated Press. He added that his main goal “is to give the children refugees a chance for a future.”

Roughly 14 million Ukrainians have been displaced by the Russian invasion, which began on Feb. 24.

“It has to become a beginning of a flash mob as an example to follow so people auction their valuable possessions to help Ukrainians,” Muratov said in a video released by Heritage Auctions.

The activist journalist shared the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2021 with Filipino journalist Maria Ressa for their work to preserve free speech in their countries, where free speech has been under attack.

Muratov was the editor-in-chief and founder of the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta. The newspaper was shut down in March.

On April 7, Muratov was attacked and covered with red paint by organized Russian intelligence while on a train from Moscow to Samara.
