Police thwarted an attempt to steal a mural painted by enigmatic British street artist Bansky from a wall on the outskirts of Kyiv, officials said.
Another Banksy painting is a mural of a female gymnast balancing on a pile of rubble and a young kid in a karate outfit.“I want to emphasize that Banksy’s works in the Kyiv region are under protection from the police,” Kuleba said on his Telegram channel. “After all, these images are a symbol of our struggle against the enemy. These are the stories about the support and solidarity of the entire civilized world with Ukraine.
Kuleba added that “consultations regarding the storage and future fate of the mural” were being conducted by authorities, the community, and representatives from Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture and Information Policy.
