Banksy in Ukraine

Banksy, a famous graffiti artist, posted a photo of his artwork in Ukraine, Brodianka. The photo he posted showed a gymnast balancing on the ruins of a building. Brodianka was bombed at the beginning of the war and a lot of civil were killed as well as a lot of buildings were destroyed. The graffiti of the gymnast isn’t the only one people found in Ukraine. There is also graffiti of two people during a judo match- one of them resembles Putin, who is losing and the other one is a young boy, which might give people a hint about the artist's view on Putin. And the third graffiti showed two children using a metal tank trap as a seesaw. In my opinion Banksy has an impact on people, he is famous all around the world so him doing this type of graffiti in Ukraine can put even more spotlight to the current war that is happening there. Also his graffiti shows that he supports Ukraine and not Russia, which may influence others to start supporting Ukraine more. Link: https://www.theguardian.co...

In my opinion, doing this kind of protest is not really putting the groups in a good light, as well as the problems they are fighting to fix. They make the issue  have more spotlight, but personally I don't think I would support a group that is fighting in this kind of way, even if I think the reason they are fighting for is a va...
