Banksy in Ukraine


Renowned street artist Banksy has unveiled his latest artwork in an Instagram post -- a mural in the liberated Ukrainian town of Borodianka.
The artwork shows a female gymnast balancing on a pile of rubble on the side of a building damaged by Russian strikes.
The graffiti artist posted three images of the piece Friday on social media, with a simple caption reading "Borodyanka, Ukraine," using an alternative spelling for the town's name.

Speculation had been mounting that Banksy was in the war-torn country after a series of murals appeared in Borodianka, located about 35 miles northwest of the capital, Kyiv.

I wonder if the second one is a reference to Putin, supposedly a Judo black belt, being thrown by a child which represents Ukraine?
