Banksy mural on Ukrainian postage stamp
Marking one year since Russia’s full-scale invasion of its country, Ukraine has issued a postage stamp depicting a mural by British street artist Banksy of a boy defeating a grown man in judo. The phrase “Beat off Putin” has been added in Cyrillic at the bottom left of the stamp.
The mural was painted by Banksy on a bombed-out wall in the town of Borodyanka, northwest of Kiev, where many buildings were destroyed by Russian aircraft early in the invasion last year. Borodyanka was particularly hard hit by Russian attacks.
The mural depicted on the stamp is part of a series of works by Banksy that appeared in different parts of Ukraine in late 2022.
Banksy traveled to crisis zones in different parts of the world and created works of art known for conveying a social or political message.
