Oleksandr Zinchenko has received an award following his protests against Russia's invasion of his war-torn homeland of Ukraine.
The Arsenal star won the Media Diversity Champion of the Year prize at the UnitedHealth Group's European Diversity Awards on Friday.
Since Russian president Vladmir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in February, Zinchenko has been vocal in support for his homeland, previously declaring he 'could not stay back' while his country is attacked.
