The Short Version
A University of Oslo professor publicly stated he nominated Zelensky for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize before the January 31 deadline, and he plausibly qualifies as an eligible nominator. However, the Norwegian Nobel Committee keeps all nominations confidential and has not confirmed this submission. The only sources asserting the nomination as fact are a Change.org petition and an unverified YouTube video — neither constitutes authoritative confirmation. The claim is plausible but presented as established fact without verifiable proof.
