A tiny bit of good news?
Renowned street artist Banksy has unveiled his latest artwork in an Instagram post -- a mural in the liberated Ukrainian town of Borodianka (Kherson).
 |
| Borodianka was hit particularly hard by Russian airstrikes in the first few weeks of the conflict. |
The artwork shows a female gymnast balancing on a pile of rubble on the side of a building damaged by Russian strikes.
The
graffiti artist posted three images of the piece Friday on social
media, with a simple caption reading "Borodyanka, Ukraine," using an
alternative spelling for the town's name.
Speculation
had been mounting that Banksy was in the war-torn country after a
series of murals appeared in Borodianka, located about 35 miles
northwest of the capital, Kyiv.

Borodianka
was hit particularly hard by Russian airstrikes at the start of the
invasion of Ukraine in February, with many buildings reduced to piles of
rubble by long-range attacks. It
was home to 13,000 people before the war, but most fled after Russia's
invasion. What was left of Borodianka, after intense shelling and
devastating strikes, was then occupied by Russian forces, who moved in
on February 28.
The town came back into Ukrainian control on April 1, and returning residents found their houses ransacked and shops pillaged with windows broken and contents stolen. The town has since been the focus of reconstruction efforts, with several tower blocks demolished as a result of damage caused by the fighting.
Why does my granddog, Zoey, look so sad?
It was because I looked at the photos out of order ... so here's why.
She had thrown up on WW's new white carpet!
All is back to normal.
I was going to mention that even though WW and SM live in another state, we talk or text almost everyday.
Just because ...
