Banksy’s latest work is on a shelled Ukrainian building.

Banksy posted an Instagram photo of the Borodyanka artwork, a gymnast in a handstand.

Murals in and around Kyiv led to rumors the artist was in the war-torn country.

Another, unclaimed, shows a man resembling Putin losing in Judo to a toddler.

The graffiti artist shared three photographs of the mural in Russian shelling ruins with the description “Borodyanka, Ukraine.”

Borodyanka was heavily bombed by Russia after the 24 February assault.

Russian military seized the town for weeks in the opening phase of the war before Ukraine reclaimed it in April.

A second painting in Borodyanka depicts a man resembling Vladimir Putin getting flipped by a small boy in judo. Russian President Vladimir Putin is a judo black belt and fan.

On the outskirts of Kyiv, Russian forces massacred hundreds of citizens.

A fourth work, spray-painted in Banksy’s characteristic manner, depicts two toddlers utilizing a metal tank trap as a seesaw in Kyiv.

Banksy is a famous, anonymous artist.

In the 1990s, he stenciled in Bristol. His work has appeared in Paris, New York, and Utah’s Park City.

The enigmatic “guerrilla street artist” has A-list celebrity followers.
