OREANDA-NEWS   US President Donald Trump is really doing a lot to resolve the crises that have been going on for years. This is how Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize following his visit to Tajikistan, TASS reports.

"There have been cases when the committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to people who have done nothing for peace. In my opinion, with these decisions they have caused enormous damage to the credibility of this award," the Russian leader said in response to a question about how he assesses the fact that his American counterpart did not receive the award.

Earlier, the prize committee announced that Maria Corina Machado, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, received the Nobel Peace Prize this year for "her tireless work to promote the democratic rights of the Venezuelan people and for fighting for a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy."
