The motif is a work by the artist that he left behind on a wall in the damaged town of Borodjanka, near Kiev.
Ukraine issued a Banksy stamp to mark the first anniversary of the Russian attack. It shows a motif that the world-famous British street artist left on a wall in the heavily damaged Ukrainian town of Borodjanka, near Kiev. It shows a child defeating a large and seemingly overwhelming judoka.
The tall man in the graffiti is said to be Russian President Vladimir Putin, who likes to brag about his black belt and judo outfit. The child, also wearing a judo uniform, obviously symbolizes Ukraine.
The new stamp was very popular on Friday as people lined up in front of Kiev’s main post office to buy it. Banksy, who hides his true identity, confirmed the authorship of the work on Borodyanka in his account on the online service Instagram.
