Banksy 'is in Ukraine' - speculation mounts as more street art appears

Speculation is mounting that mystery Bristol graffiti artist Banksy is in Ukraine, and is painting his street art on the walls of missile-damaged buildings. One work of art on a demolished building in Borodyanka shows a child throwing a man to the floor in a judo outfit, and there is widespread speculation that the artist Banksy is behind the work.

While there is no confirmation - yet - on Banksy's official Instagram feed, and queries to Banksy's representative in this country are still awaiting a response, images of the work are being shared on social media back in the UK by associates of Banksy in the street art world.

The picture was photographed by photojournalist Ed Ram, who is in Ukraine working for photo agency Getty, who said Borodyanka is in the Kyiv region of Ukraine and was somewhere hit particularly hard by Russian airstrikes in the first few weeks of the conflict.
