This was the first piece of art which was officially claimed by Banksy as the social media has been buzzing about his possible presence in Ukraine. With the Russian invasion not showing signs of slowing down, various artworks across the country were attributed to him but he never claimed responsibility.
Borodianka was one of the first towns which came under heavy attack from the Russian forces as the missile strikes caused massive damage to infrastructure. However, the resistance forces were able to fight back and wrestle control out of the Russian handles during the start of April this year.
