British street artist Banksy has confirmed he is in Ukraine after unveiling a video of himself on Instagram working on several pieces.
Speculation had been mounting the anonymous graffiti artist was in the war-torn country after a series of murals appeared in the town of Borodyanka, near Kyiv.
One mural depicted a man resembling Russian President Vladimir Putin being flipped during a judo match with a little boy.
Another showed two children using a metal tank trap as a seesaw.
However, the mural which Banksy chose to reveal his presence in the country is of a female gymnast balancing on a damaged building.
The graffiti artist posted three images of the mural on Instagram last Friday, with the caption simply reading "Borodyanka, Ukraine".
In his latest video, posted on Friday (AEDT), the artist shows himself painting on walls of damaged buildings in Ukraine.
It features a mother, who seemingly unaware of the artist's fame, described the destruction and how it's affected her daughter to Banksy.
"Come and let the man take your picture," she says to her child.
Borodyanka, northwest of the capital, was one of the towns hardest hit by Russia's bombardment at the beginning of the invasion.
Russian soldiers invaded in February, occupying the town for weeks before it was liberated in April.
Since then, the town has been the focus of reconstruction efforts, with several tower blocks demolished as a result of damage caused by the fighting.
