Novaya Gazeta Europe, an independent newspaper based in Latvia and the successor to the Novaya Gazeta newspaper founded by Muratov in 1993, announced the Russian measure on its official Telegram channel.

The newspaper said that, according to Russian authorities, Muratov "participated in the development and dissemination of materials by foreign agents, and also used foreign platforms to disseminate opinions that aim to create a negative attitude towards Russia's domestic and foreign policy."

In early March 2022, Muratov called for an "unconditional" ceasefire in the war in Ukraine and announced that he would be donating his Nobel Peace Prize medal to a foundation that helps Ukrainian refugees.

The prize was sold on Monday in New York at an auction that raised a record $103.5 million, which will be used to help UNICEF assist Ukrainian children.
