"Whether the current US president is worthy or unworthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, I don't know, but he is really doing a lot to resolve very complex crises that have lasted for decades," the dictator said.

Putin added that it is not for him to decide who should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and emphasized that, in his opinion, the authority of the prize has been damaged.

"It is not for me to decide who should be awarded the Nobel Prize. There have been cases when the Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to people who did nothing for peace. And with such actions, they caused great damage to the authority of this prize.
