Banksy leaves his mark in Borodianka, Ukraine

TL;DR

Banksy created a mural of a young female gymnast performing a handstand, as if balancing on a damaged building.Banksy’s caption for the photo simply reads: "Borodyanka [sic], Ukraine," as if he knew that his fans were waiting for confirmation that he had visited this war-ravaged city.Banksy’s possible visit to Ukraine has been debated over the past several days, after his Instagram fan-page shared a photo of a graffiti created on concrete slabs in Kyiv’s Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square): two children as if rocking, seesaw-like, on an anti-tank obstacle defence.Several days later, Ed Ram, a photographer working for foreign media in Ukraine, shared a photo of a Borodianka mural depicting a man wearing a martial arts uniform and a black belt being flipped during a judo match with a little boy.Banksy is a pseudonymous UK-based street artist who became famous for his stencilled graffiti in Bristol and London, and then the entire world."
