Banksy showcases new mural in war-damaged Ukrainian town

- WORLD-RENOWNED graffiti artist Banksy unveiled a work in the Ukrainian town of Borodyanka, which had been occupied by Russia until April and heavily damaged by fighting in the early days of Moscow's invasion.
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.
At least one other piece of new graffiti in Banksy's signature style, although not posted by the mercurial artist on social media, was spotted in Borodyanka, portraying a man being flipped in judo by a much smaller child.
The symbolism of that piece was an allusion to the biblical story of David and Goliath, the unlikely triumph of the underdog, as well as a nod to Russian President Vladimir Putin's much-publicised love of the Japanese martial art.

Banksy's perfect satire on Putin, who is a black belt in judo. Putin forgot that in judo, it's not the age or size of your opponent but his skill and commitment.
👍🇺🇦
Not to mention his skill has been drawn into question by many. Just like his emaculate hockey skills 😂
100%👍🏻👍🏻
You underestimate Putin! And banksy sucks!
@@hitrapperandartistdababy Yeah, having seen him on video, he did not look like a black belt. Maybe when he was younger he was way better than he was in that video.
Beautiful! A picture is worth a thousand words.......
SLAVA UKRAINI!!!🇺🇦🇺🇲❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the idea of an enigma that creates art with a social conscience. With all the sadness in the world, a bit of light relief and creativity is much appreciated. Thanks, Banksy!
Banksy is almost like a corporation, there is many artist working in that company, is not a single man.
its actually more than that...its THE ONLY way !
Plus be worth a lotta money for ukraine 👍👌
Loe from Sweden. The world need Peace, Art and Love
@@NMROSTA Agreed, love from Wales! peace.
A perfect David and Goliath moment captured and broadcast to the wider world.
I so look forward to seeing Ukraine rebuilt.
I look forward to seeing ruski pay for it.
Comments can be hard. It's not easy for me to say, "Stay Strong Ukraine". The suffering you've all endured is too much.
I don't know why, but I do know you will rise above this.
Slava Ukraine
@Horros Yugos Don't worry, we'll make Russia struggle for decades too, if you want.
Well said
That's a perfect depiction of what's happening now in mighty Ukraine. 🤣
Slava Ukraini!!! 🇺🇦 🇺🇲
Слава Україні Героям слава !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!☆☆☆
Браво з Японії з великою любов'ю до найсміливіших та поважніших усіх українців !!!защищать Родину!!!
Jigaro Kano's the small can defeat the large. Given Putin's Judo background, that's a message he'll understand perfectly!
Putting Ukraine on the map! Respect total, from a Bristol compatriot.
Ukraine's been on the map. Some graffiti artist didn't put them on the map.
Sorry, my mistake
@@n00n1n yes it has been a sovereign country for many years …
But I think the commenter meant “map” in the sense of world consciousness. Ironically Pootin did that by invading . He really has accomplished so much for the west ( not the Russians !) with this invasion 😂
im gonna puke.
Mad respect to Banksy!!
Genius!
Love your work and your mysteriousness 😉
Loved the shots of the white cat and the Banksy in the background.
Wonderful art
Awesome!.GB.
And Putin needs to pay for all of the damage and suffering he’s caused.
Well done
A little bit of brilliance in a sad situation.
The God of street art is in Ukraine!?
Bansky, the most influential Artist of my lifetime.
I think it’s supposed to represent Putin (who does Judo) being taken down by someone smaller than him.
That's Zelensky slamming him
Russia can only be remembered as the owner of territories stolen from other nations, from other peoples and which they will have to return at the hour of reckoning. Friedrich Engels 1820-1895. German philosopher
Germany is a slavic land
I like Russia. They threw out the Rothschild banks and are not part of the NATO liars and war mongers! Remember 30 years of war in the Middle East for “weapons of mass destruction” or being told we have walked on the moon! Or 9/11! C’mon the west is FULL OF LIES
@@Loreless thats not true. In prehistoric times it was owned by Tyrannosaurus Rex and Trcieratops....
@@Loreless Only Russian slavic land is rather small area around Volga river. Roughly the area of Nizhny Novgorod. Everything else is occupied territory. Russia will collaps into several countries in the future. Once the oil and gas money runs out it's game over.
But you will never live in Russia wouldn't you?Russia is know for killing its population and others. Mongols Tajik Uzbek Turks Georgian Finns Moldovan Chechnyas Germans Czechoslovakians Poles Do not forget the Gulags etc etc . Russia is a terrorist country
Lol how is it this guy never gets seen with all the tech nowadays? He is a ninja!
Two simple stencils express so much. Each one a perfect message.
There is a third one they didn’t show, it was a young girl with a long ribbon. I think that’s Rhythmic Gymastics, powerful.
@@Rocket_scientist_88 cool a funny guy…tell us more jokes please.
the indistinguishable most important sign of "good luck" in the Russian people,
is his sadistic cruelty (Maxim Gorky. 1868-1936. Russian writer and playwright)
David and Goliath, Ukraine portray as David who defeat the giant evil Russian, Slava Ukraine.
Also Putin is a blackbelt in Judo and he is being taken down by someone smaller.
Genijalno ! Michelangelo in 21.century !
David vs Goliat
Banksy thank You .
Slava Ukraini !
Proud to be a Bristolian! BANKSY is King
Yeh a town full of communists. Not Russian at all.
Love banksy, love ukraine. Love to think after this is over folk will travel there to see banksy's work. Proper tourism.
Be lucky if that's still standing
@@sicknote1558 fingers crossed. And if not i hope banksy will do some more. Thank you banksy. It must have been well appreciated by the ukrainians, they like a joke.
バンクシーありがとうございます。
意味がわかりました。
小さい子供はウクライナですね。
Украина - подросток против старика.
The man gets around
Perfect message for russia tomorrow, I like the vision of Banky
Amazing
Thank you Sky News for educating me on this artist .
So true.
Not much of a Banksy fan, but I must admit it caught at my throat a little to see that.👏👏
By slapping some paint on a wall Banksy brought sad attention to the destruction.
The Man is an undeniable genius!
I'm sure it won't be unnoticeable and our government will make this place especial.
Boy against man!!!!little guy against big guy this is a representation of what can be achieved.
He's back!!! 💯
Real great! - Done by Banksy!
My front lawn looks worse.
Well done..
All the ruined buildings,That’s sad and all the lives too
Love it!
Молодец !
This is a wonderful thing! Along with the horrors of war and the senselessness of Putin there is resistance, courage and defiance abounding. The Ukranian people need world support and the power in art and artist Banksy is an inspiration to all that love and fight for freedom.
How did he get there that’s my one question
First you get on a plane to Poland, next a car to ukraine
Can you imagine Putin and Steven Seagal sparring in judo.
Damn, nice!!!
My only thought is the hell is banksy doing in ukrain thought he was in England well maybe he travels I don’t know
it seems he travels he also made wall drawings in berlin amsterdam paris and new york
Banksy is a group, it's all over the world 😂
@@deletehuman1401 that would make more sense maybe that’s why nobody knows what he looks like banksy is not a person he is a style wow talk about being immortalized
What would have made it even better is if he had been more explicit, by painting the belts of the fighters in the Russian and Ukrainian flags, I think. But his street art is mostly in black and white shades.
Dam it Banksy sold out.
I want to see the red one up close.
What a fantastic summary of the situation, thought provoking, humbling and uplifting in the cause of freedom.
🇺🇦🇿🇦Who cares if it's done by a single man or a group, the artwork is truly meaningful. It shows the courage of the Ukrainian people in ways words cannot describe.🇺🇦🇿🇦
We care because we love Banksy. Esp his hotel, 'the walled off' in Bethlehem. A word play on the luxury hotel in America...the Waldorf. The Walled off is situated only a few yards from the West Bank Wall. He does work with other artists btw.
This guy or girl is a legend so much meaning behind the work. Would love to know who Banksy is someday
Robert Del Naja
Thats Putin on the mat
Is that Putin getting beaten by a child in judo?
"mural`s" as its multiple art ? and yes i recognize the way he does make it "cartoonish" ! please preserve some of the art !
The old man even looks like Putin.
A campaign for All Great Artists from all over the world should converge in Ukraine immediately to spread art all over war torn Ukraine…. amongst all the devastation this will send a strong message that “life” goes on and further highlight the terrible destruction caused by this murderers, Putin.
Yellow belt beat up the red belt LOL
👍👍
The cat knows who Banksy is.
First the Eurovision, then an Oscar, now a Banksy. It's all happening in Ukraine.
Also reminds of a video clip when Putin taught a child on how to flip the bigger guy.
It's hard to realize that all these places were full of families living their normal lives a year ago...and now it looks like some dystopian landscape from a movie. Making people orphans of their own lives...all cause Putin was never taught as a child to keep your hands off other people's stuff.
Is putin black belter?
Black bag!
Wow, how deep!
Well it must be true its in the Sun😂
weird how he didn't make one for all the children being bombed in the Donbas since 2014 by the Ukrainian regime
👏👏👍
Let settle this war by one vs one death match battle
Zelenskyy vs putin
Its an interesting one.
Im not sure what the story is though.
The gi clad man being violently flipped onto his back is Putin. You can infer the rest given the context.
@@PsychicThursday I dont think thats it at all.
To simple for Banksy
@@BladeRunner21577 If you're confident of what it isn't, then you should have some idea what it is. Do you?
Maybe you're right, but I think in war sometimes meaning doesn't have to be complex. The war itself is complex enough, the art can simply embody a moment or an emotion to be powerful.
Wish Banksy can do some amazing artwork on humiliate Putin
彼の言いたい事が、よくわかる。
Did he produce the red Putin on the little t34 in London !🤣🤡
How long till someone steals it.
✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻🇺🇳🇪🇺🇺🇦
Uhmmm … can’t see a signature, but still, great work , very obvious,,, maybe to obvious, but yeahp , onya Ukrainian people.Fighting the good fight .
Is this commission art? Feels like it. It's all getting a little bit hollyweird.
It is so prophetic! Love it!!
Ukranians need food, water, electricity, weapons, peace, freedom. I don't think Banksy is high on their list.
🇺🇦🗽✌️
team robbo never forget
🇬🇧 ♥️ 🇺🇦
Ukraine should paint murals all over Ukraine depicting Putin and his friend in a villain way
Awesome! The kid is kicking Putin's ass!
Ukrainians for peace!
Everyone knows that!
Shame Banker....I mean banksky isn't John Rambo instead.
That would be more use to Ukraine the doodling on a blown up building!!
I suppose Britain is going to supply the perspex screen that now needs to be fitted to preserve the value oh and the auction house to get Banker.....I mean banks.....paid!
I’m not a fan of Banksy’s art, but this one is on genius level.
Dont like graffiti but this Bankzy
i amazing! He could sell some of his
art in favour for Ukraine
Russian conscript will definitely take that 1😆 since they need money...
Certainly the most subversive among his art pieces. 1.7 trillion GDP against the combined might of 32.4 trillion GDP the NATO countries share - and winning. But to mock the Ukrainians in such a way, it really takes balls of steel to put that piece on a wall in the Ukraine.
Slava Ukraine!!! God’s be…
✖️ЕРОЯМ САЛО !
I don't like Banksy. The Banksy collective comments on things they don't understand.
Oh man that is so cool - brilliant, Banksy - well done and Slava Ukraine
