It is the first time since 2018-19 that a Manchester City player has not won the award.

In August, he heard he was banned from Hungary and, at Hungary's insistence, from the whole Schengen zone of the EU, without explanation.Mr Tseber's letter to the Hungarian embassy in Kyiv went unanswered.

The leader of the far-right Our Homeland party in the Hungarian Parliament, Laszlo Toroczkai, labelled him a "terrorist". Mate Kocsis the leader of the Fidesz faction in the Hungarian parliament, has called him a "Ukrainian spy", long in the sights of Hungarian counter-intelligence."I reject all such accusations which try to link me to intelligence activities of any kind. This is ridiculous. I'm a Transcarpathian politician who works honestly and openly for his homeland and for Hungarian interests," Mr Tseber told me in a phone interview.As an elected, independent councillor in the regional assembly of Transcarpathia, who sits in the political group of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's Servant of the People party, he meets politicians of all shades, he says, including the deputy Hungarian Foreign Minister, Levente Magyar.

"I'm a Ukrainian politician and I meet with everyone. This whole situation is ridiculous. They want to drag me into this spy story. But anyone with any common sense can understand that this is absurd."The weakest link in the Hungarian government's narrative is that if he was really on the radar of Hungarian intelligence, government politicians and Peter Magyar as a Member of the European Parliament would have been warned to stay away from him.

The dwindling Hungarian community in Transcarpathia has become collateral damage in the Ukraine-Hungary row.

In Ukraine's last census, in 2001, their population was 150,000, but latest estimates suggest their number has since halved to 70-80,000. Dozens have lost their lives, fighting for Ukraine against Russia.There have been a number of national and international attempts to resolve the crisis, including what the government called "a major national dialogue" in 2019.

Although the talks established a special status for the country's two anglophone regions which acknowledged their unique history, very little was resolved in practical terms.Felix Agbor Nkongho - a barrister who was one of the leaders of the 2016 protests and was later arrested - says that with both sides now seeming to act with impunity, the moral high ground has disappeared.

"There was a time… where most people felt that, if they needed security, they would go to the separatists," he tells BBC Africa Eye."But over the last two years, I don't think any reasonable person would think that the separatists would be the ones to protect them. So everybody should die for us to have independence and I ask the question: who are you going to govern?"
