A mum in Ukraine has claimed she unwittingly spoke to Banksy as he put his artwork on the walls of Borodianka. The mysterious Bristol street artist made his mark in Ukraine last year after travelling to the area following the Russian invasion.
He worked on a broken wall in a town wrecked months beforehand by artillery and warplane strikes launched by Vladimir Putin’s invading army. CCTV footage even purported to have captured him at work in the war-torn country.
While his presence in Ukraine may have initially gone under the radar, it seems he was unwittingly discovered. Yula Patoku told the Daily Mirror she ended up striking up a conversation with a man daubing art on the wall, only to find out later that the work she had seen being created was a genuine Banksy.
