The Daily Mirror published an article about the Pride of Britain Awards 2022, during which Michael Sheen presented the Spirit of Freedom award to the people of Ukraine.

Later he added he was “humbled”, explaining: “It’s an award that I’m sure everyone here wishes they weren’t getting, that there was no reason for us to be doing this.
“But we felt on behalf of Pride of Britain that it was important to show our solidarity and to keep showing solidarity, because obviously the moment that people aren’t saying that they give their support, it’s not in the newspapers and on the front pages, it only helps the enemy.”
