Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is Time Magazine's 2022 Person of the Year. This Time Magazine has named also The spirit of Ukraine as its 2022 Person of the Year.
The award goes to an event or person deemed to have had the most influence on global events over the past 12 months. The magazine said Mr Zelensky had inspired Ukrainians and was recognised internationally for his courage in resisting the Russian invasion.
"Zelensky's success as a wartime leader has relied on the fact that courage is contagious",
editor Edward Felsenthal wrote.
"In a world that had come to be defined by its divisiveness, there was a coming together around this cause, around this country,"
Time Magazine added that the The Spirit of Ukraine referred to Ukrainians around the world, including many who fought behind the scenes.
This includes people like Ievgen Klopotenko, a chef who provided thousands of free meals to Ukrainians and medic Yuliia Payevska who was captured, then released after three months in Russian captivity.
The tradition began in 1927 - although back then it was the Man of the Year.
