This is the best summary I could come up with:


STOCKHOLM, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The Nobel Foundation said on Saturday it would not after all invite the ambassadors of Russia, Belarus and Iran to attend the Nobel Prize awards ceremony in Stockholm this year, reversing an earlier decision after widespread criticism.

Last year, the foundation left out the ambassadors of Russia and its ally Belarus because of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

That announcement prompted the leaders of several Swedish political parties to say they would boycott the ceremonies.

"We recognise the strong reactions in Sweden," the foundation said in a statement on Saturday.

"We, therefore, choose to repeat last year's exception to regular practice – that is, to not invite the ambassadors of Russia, Belarus and Iran to the Nobel Prize award ceremony in Stockholm."

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo where separate festivities are held.

Well, yes, because they, in particular, deserve so.

Also Sweden is not a neutral country.

Not much of value was lost.
