TIME has released the shortlist for its Person of the Year category, which names the individual, group or concept that most influenced the world in 2023, in their opinion.
Last year, it was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the 'Spirit of Ukraine' that topped the rankings, after dominating headlines since Russia's invasion.
But in 2023, his warmongering foe Russian President Vladimir Putin is judged to have had a greater influence on world affairs, going up against eight others shortlisted.
