Banksy posted a photo of the work -- a female gymnast doing a headstand amid debris -- on his Instagram page with the caption: “Borodyanka, Ukraine." Borodyanka, in the Kyiv region, was badly damaged by Russian shelling. The town was liberated in early April. The famous British street artist has traveled to crisis zones in the past, including the West Bank. Banksy's identity remains unknown. To read the story by RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service, click here.
