The editor-in-chief of Russia's Novaya Gazeta newspaper - an outlet critical of the Kremlin - has pledged to donate his Nobel Peace Prize medal to raise funds for Ukrainian refugees.

Dmitry Muratov said in an article on Tuesday that his decision was prompted by the displacement of 10 million Ukrainians from their homes amid the Russian invasion.

"I ask the auction houses to respond and put up for auction this world-famous award," he wrote of the gong he won last year.
