Graffiti artist Banksy confirms his presence in Ukraine with this artwork, see images

England-based street artist, film director, and political activist Banksy unveils his artwork on Instagram which confirmed his presence in the war-torn country Ukraine.

The speculation began in the small town of Borodianka, which is near Kyiv. A Mural depicts a young boy throwing the Russian president on the floor during a judo match. Another one shows two children playing on a tank trap as a seesaw. The mural he used to reveal himself in the country was of a female gymnast balancing herself on the rubble of a war-damaged building.

The Russian troops came from the Belarusian Border, which is 200 miles to the north. They occupied the town in February along with Irpin, Bucha, Hostomei, and Borodlanka. They were one of the hardest hit places by the Russian Troops. They got liberated in April.

Ukrainian investigators also found dozens of graves of civilians where they were tortured before being killed. Moscow had launched powerful unguided bombs in the populated areas of Borodianka, which destroyed many buildings and created massive rubble. After that, the town has been the focus of reconstruction efforts. People are trying their best to rebuild it.
