With his works, he has immortalised the tragic history of the city's struggle and the idea of its revival.
Previously: Banksy has confirmed the authorship of seven works in Kyiv Oblast and even posted a video of himself creating them.
In Hostomel, Kyiv Oblast, however, vandals cut out and removed one of Banksy's works. They were found by the police. One of the thieves was Oleksandr Duvinskyi, a Ukrainian artist from Cherkasy, who claimed that he had participated in cutting out the artwork in order to save it.
