They are ruins where nothing is beautiful anymore. The concrete has been blown up, steel is sticking out somewhere and pointing to the sky, no one can live in it anymore and winter is not far away.

In all this horror that was bombed by the Russians, an eye-catcher suddenly appeared: a graffiti that only one person could have done from the looks of it – Banksy!

The mysterious street artist sprayed a ruin in Ukraine – and also confirms it. He posted his work on his Instagram account. It shows a woman doing a handstand on the rubble. He sprayed it on a destroyed house in Borodjanka, northwest of Kyiv.

Other graffiti works also suggest that they come from Banksy – even if they are not officially confirmed. There is a boy putting a man on the mat in judo, which was also spray-painted on a ruin in Borodyanka. A woman does gymnastics on a broken building in Irpin and children seesaw on a small wall behind a rusted anti-tank barrier in Kyiv.

The famous street artist has also traveled to crisis areas in the past, including the West Bank. Banksy’s identity is still unknown.
