Banksy: Street artist sells prints for Ukraine

Hindustan Times  

Banksy has already acknowledged painting several murals in war-ravaged Ukraine, but now the British street artist is making a monetary contribution to Ukraine's near eight-month resistance against Russian invasion. "In Ukraine I saw a Legacy of War team sweep in and provide medical attention, heaters, fresh water and a friendly face to some very desperate people in a bombed out building," wrote Banksy on the Legacy of War Foundation site. "This is such a historic moment for our country, that people like Banksy and other famous figures are coming here and showing the world what Russia has done to us," said 31-year-old Alina Mazur from Kyiv at the site of the gymnast street artwork in November. "Due to the fact the production process involves Banksy attacking every print with a sharpened pizza cutter — they are each unique and will differ slightly from the one pictured," read a statement on the Legacy or War Foundation website.
