The foundation has caused an outcry over the attendance of the Russian ambassador at the annual prize ceremony.
The decision came amid an unconfirmed report that Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf said he had been surprised by the invitation to the envoys and expressed doubt on whether he would attend himself.
Meanwhile, Swedish Employment Minister Johan Pehrson said that allowing a representative to attend would be"extremely injudicious" while the country's prime minister Ulf Kristersson said it was necessary"to isolate Russia in every possible way."In a rebuke to Vladimir Putin's authoritarian rule, last year's prize was shared by the Russian group Memorial and the Ukrainian organization Center for Civil Liberties.
It comes as Russia added the co-recipient of the 2021 prize, Dmitry Muratov, the editor-in-chief of the independent anti-Kremlin newspaperRussia has seen a crackdown on freedoms since the start of Putin's war and the label is aimed at stifling dissent, adding heavy administrative constraints and requiring sources of funding to be disclosed.
In June 2022, Muratov auctioned off his medal for $103.5m with the proceeds going to help refugees from the war in Ukraine.
