Bansky reveals new mural in Ukrainian vi

$25/hr Starting at $25

Bansky revealed a mural in Ukranian village Borodyanka Friday, which was left devastated by Russian forces early on in the invasion. 

The artist unveiled the mural of a female gymnast on Instagram with three pictures and the caption "Borodyanka, Ukraine." The gymnast is seen balancing on rubble on one side of a destroyed building.

Residents suspect there may be one other Banksy mural in Borodyanka, according to Reuters. Another mural in Banksy's signature style of a man being flipped by a small child in judo was spotted in the village, symbolizing the triumph of David over Goliath as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin's love of the martial art, the outlet reported.

This mural, however, was not posted by the artist.

Borodyanka, located about 30 miles north of capital Kyiv, was hit hard early on in the invasion by Russian forces, and occupied quickly. Before the war, about 12,000 people lived in the village -- the number of those who stayed through the occupation and the true death toll are still unknown.

Russian forces retreated early April, leaving behind destroyed buildings and rubble. Aerial footage of the village shows the extent of the destruction at the time.


President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in April that the situation in Borodyanka was “significantly more dreadful” than in Bucha, about 15 miles away.
