Renowned graffiti artist Banksy unveiled a work in the Ukrainian town of Borodyanka, which was heavily damaged by fighting in the early days of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. (Reuters)
Banksy posted a photo of the mural - a girl gymnast performing a handstand on a small pile of concrete rubble - on Instagram late on Friday. The work was painted onto the wall of a building destroyed by shelling. (Reuters)
New graffiti has popped around Ukraine in Banksy's signature style, though only one among these of the gymnast has been posted by the artist on his social media. (Reuters)
This mural in Banksy's signature style portrays a man being flipped in judo by a much smaller child symbolising the biblical story of David and Goliath, the unlikely triumph of the underdog. (Reuters)
This mural, that appears to be painted by Banksy, shows a female rhythmic gymnast, wearing a neck brace, performing with a ribbon in Irpin. (Reuters)
Another work, which also resembles Banksy's signature spray-painted style, portrays two children sitting on a metal tank trap and using it as a seesaw. The works reflet the conditions in the country in its ongoing conflict with its neighbor, Russia (Reuters)
"This is such a historic moment for our country, that people like Banksy and other famous figures are coming here and showing the world what Russia has done to us," said one of the visiting Kyivans, 31-year-old Alina Mazur. (Reuters)
