The Gunners defender, who has 52 caps for the Ukraine national football team, has been vocal in his support for his war-torn homeland and gave an impassioned speech after picking up the accolade at the 2022 European Diversity Awards.
Zinchenko attended an anti-war vigil earlier this year and has previously said he ‘could not stay back’ while his country is attacked, with Russia first invading Ukraine on February 24 as the devastating war continues in eastern Europe.
